Does the word maze have its origins in Greek mythology?
Not maze but 'labyrinth' (meaning the same) comes from the Greek mythology. Once upon a time there was Crete ruled by King Minos. This king had a half-bull, half-man monster as his son - called the Minotaur -and he kept it in a labyrinth. The legend says that it ate people having been sent for him from Athens. But one of the Athenian heroes, called Theseus, killed the Minotaur.

The name of a mythical creature with three eyes is a golden basilisk. This snake could kill someone just by looking at them.

The labyrinth is not a portal but a maze.
What was the authority of the labyrinth in the greek legend?
The labyrinth is not a person it is a thing, a maze. It has no authority. The person that owned the labyrinth was King Minos. He was the guy with the authority over the labyrinth.
