Footnote 2:

Yet the telling of this myth includes a pattern that, as Matthews notes, became convention over the centuries:

Starting from the exterior, the "path" runs inwards a short distance, turns so as to run parallel with the other wall until nearly a full circuit has been completed, then doubles back on itself and runs round in the opposite direction, doubles upon itself again, and so on until it finally comes to a stop in a blind end, having traversed all of the space within the outer walls without covering any part twice and without forming any branches or loops.
