The Story of Daedalus and Icarus
A Greek Myth
Book •
Daedalus, a skilled craftsman, and his son Icarus were imprisoned by King Minos on the island of Crete.
Daedalus built wings for himself and Icarus using feathers and wax to escape.
He warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun or too low to the sea.
However, Icarus ignored these warnings, flew too close to the sun, and his wings melted, causing him to fall into the sea and drown.
Daedalus, grief-stricken, continued his flight and later honored his son by naming the nearest land Icaria and the sea the Icarian Sea.
