work for the king Minos' enemies behind the king's back. King Minos did not like that, so he sentences Daedalus
and his son to a labyrinth (jail) for life.They escaped the labyrinth but were still trapped on the island. Daedalus was
a very talented man. He could make thing with his hands. Daedalus came up with an idea of creating some wings to
fly off of the island He created wings for him and his son. After he finished the wings, Daedalus put them on himself
and his son. He told his son not to fly to close to the sun because the heat would melt the wax on the wings.
He also told Icarus not to fly to close to the water otherwise his wings would become wet and he would perish in the
ocean. Icarus did not listen to his father and flew to close to the sun.His wings melted; he fell into the ocean. Icarus
perished in the ocean (Bullfinch).
