English: Drawing of Etruscan oinochoë (wine-server), late 7th-century BC, from Tragliatella near Caere. A legend reads TRUIA in Etruscan characters. Two horsemen (only one is visible from this angle) emerge from a labyrinth. The scene has sometimes been interpreted in light of a passage from Vergil's Aeneid (5.545–603) describing the equestrian event called the "Troy Game" (Lusus Troiae), in which the poet says compares the complex manoeuvres of the drill to the Cretan Labyrinth.
