Text Appearing Before Image:
rised any complicated building with numerous * Lucas, vol. I, part iii, p. 47 et seq. 184 UNICURSAL PROBLEMS [CH. IX vaults and passages*. Such a building might be termed alabyrinth, but it is not what is now usually understood by theword. The above rules would enable anyone to traverse thewhole of any structure of this kind. I do not know if thereare any accounts or descriptions of Rosamunds Bower otherthan those by Drayton, Bromton, and Knyghton: in theopinion of some, these imply that the bower was merely ahouse, the passages in which were confusing and ill-arranged. Another class of ancient mazes consisted of a tortuous pathconfined to a small area of ground and leading to a tree orshrine in the centre f. This is a maze in which there is nochance of taking a wrong turning; but, as the whole areacan be occupied by the windings of one path, the distanceto be traversed from the entrance to the centre may beconsiderable, even though the piec6 of ground covered by themaze is but small.

Figure i. Figure ii. The traditional form of the labyrinth constructed for theMinotaur is a specimen of this class. It was delineated onthe reverses of the coins of Cnossus, specimens of which arenot uncommon; one form of it is indicated in the accompanyingdiagram (figure i). The design really is the same as that * For instance, see the descriptions of the labyrinth at Lake Moeris givenby Herodotus, bk. ii, c. 148; Strabo, bk. xvii, o. 1, art. 37; Diodorus, bk. i,cc. 61, 66; and Pliuy, Hist.

Trollope in The Archaeological Journal, 1858, vol. xv, pp. 216—235, from which much of the historical information given above is derived. CH. IX] UNICURSAL PROBLEMS 185 dra

Zodiac sign of SCORPIO in a 9th century manuscript

Image by Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland
The zodiac sign of SCORPIO is associated with the month of October and it is represented by the scorpion. In some of the standard medieval iconographic compositions, the scorpion is normally viewed from above and is similar to the crab (used to represent Cancer and the month of June). Being that many of the artist and illuminators responsible for these works never saw a scorpion or had a model book to work from, the representation of this sign reflect great variety. Therefore, the scorpion can have a long tail extending from his head or can look like a dog or a tortoise. In the modern horoscope the zodiac sign of SCORPIO covers the period from about 23 October until 21 November.
