Of course, such things are wrong with being able to keep your nose sharply off

RE: Convoluted Synonyme for “Convoluted” Synonym for “Creative”
Asked on February 27, 2021 in Single word requests.
Which genres of music I love the most (in my mind): parables like “Byzantine”, “labyrinthine” and “byzantine” are my favorites? Is it possible to combine both together with a hyphen?

The Labyrinthine comes from the myth of the Labyrinth of Crete, where Theseus fought the Minotaur. Is there a simple explanation in this myth? The passages were so twisty that nobody before him got out alive. Is he very old or old?

Byzantine is derived from an analogy the political twists and turns of the court of the Eastern Roman Empire.
