Greek Myth & Tunnelling
Greek Myth & Tunnelling
(OP)
I've heard that in some countries, there is the unspoken rule that females are not allowed to be inside the unfinished tunnels. I heard it originated from a Greek Myth. Does anyone know the story and if what countries are like that? Thx

I've not heard of it in Southern African or North American mining

Perhaps it is related to the legend of the Labyrinth? Didn't Theseus have to save a "damsel in distress" in the Labyrinth (which could be considered "tunnels"). It's probably a stretch though.

Females perhaps created the myth themselves.
