Greek character describing labyrinthine Crete, and the like (2,6)
I believe the answer is:
et cetera
'and the like' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'greek character describing labyrinthine crete' is the wordplay.
'greek character' becomes 'eta' (letter from the Greek alphabet).
'describing' indicates putting letters inside (describe can mean to form the outline of).
'labyrinthine' indicates an anagram (labyrinthine can mean complex or convoluted).
'crete' is an anagram of 'ceter'.
'eta' placed around 'ceter' is 'ET CETERA'.
(Other definitions for et cetera that I've seen before include "'And so forth (2,6)'" , "and the like" , "Drive out, expel" , "and the others" , "that reduces length of sentence" .)
