It depends on whether we are talking about real labyrinths or the labyrinths of ancient myth and legend.

Yes, a more proper question would've been: Does anybody know if any of the extant labyrinths in classical times are mazes or labyrinths in the mathematical sense?

I came across this page about ancient Petra in Nabatea that contains drawings and scratchings on rocks and pottery from various ancient places, of labyrinths. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see them.
