Abstract
In traditional literature, as well as in other likewise traditional forms of artistic expression, the theme of the labyrinth appears exclusively as a spatial phenomenon. In that context, it possesses three ontological properties which differentiate it from other similar themes, for example the themes of wandering, searching, that is, traveling in general.
