Take to task Minos had in maze (8)
I believe the answer is:
admonish
'take to task' is the definition.
('admonish' can be a synonym of 'take to task')
'minos had in maze' is the wordplay.
'in maze' indicates an anagram.
'minos'+'had'='minoshad'
'minoshad' with letters rearranged gives 'ADMONISH'.
(Other definitions for admonish that I've seen before include "Scold, wag the finger at" , "Warn sternly" , "Rebuke, tick off" , "censure" , "Tell off" .)
