The Battle of the Labyrinth

I've read about 3/4 of The Battle of the Labyrinth. So far, its just as entertaining and informative as the last three. This particular book is a great deal about choices. Obviously, the reader can see that from the title. The Labyrinth is a complex maze work that exists to decieve those brave or foolish enough to enter it. However, I also believe that this Labryinth represents the human mind. In the Labyrinth, one must choose which path to take, as they must do with their own lives. One false move, or one bad decision in life, can ruin a person. However, at the end of the Labyrinth lies the heroes' goals and if the right path is taken, they will prevail, just as the right descions in life will lead a person to success. The Labyrinth is a physical reminder that choices can have various consequences and that they are, in general, not easy to make. The book also deals with morality. This comes into play when Deadalus, the inventor of the Labyrinth, is forced to choose sides between the gods and the titans. The desicion to do what is right often escapes Deadalus, as is revealed with a flashback into his long, unatutal life. When Janus, the god of choices and pathways, influences Deadalus, he wrongfullly chooses to cause the death of his newphew out of bitterness and jealuously. Of all the wrong Deadalus commited in his 2000 years, the heroes still believe he will do what is right and help them navigate the Labyrinth. Ultimately, he refuses, claiming that they already know the way. This shows that many times, decisons must be made by an individual alone, and without any influence from friends or others. The main question in my mind now is this: Even if Deadalus had helped the heroes, would that make up for his previous actions and construction of the dangerous Labyrinth, which had caused so many deaths that never would have been if it had not had been created?
