Why were Daedalus and Icarus important?
Daedalus and Icarus were characters of Greek Mythology. Daedalus was the creator of the Labyrinth. Icarus was his son. Minos, King of Crete, captured both Daedalus and Icarus in the Labyrinth. Daedalus invented some bronze wings in the prison to help him and his son escape. They escaped successfully, but Icarus, ignoring his father's warnings, swooped low, touching the sea. So he drowned. Daedalus didn't die, but he lived missing his son every second from then on.
Who are Daedalus and Icarus?
Daedalus was a clever inventor, the creator of many things including the Labyrinth (the Minotaur's prison). Eventually, that's where he was imprisoned as well, and he made it so cunningly that even he couldn't find his way out. Icarus was the son of Daedalus. Daedalus had come up with a plan to escape; by taking to the skies. He created two pairs of wings that would be stuck to their backs with wax. He warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, or the wax would melt and he would fall. Of course, filled with the exhilaration of flying, he did just that and fell to his death.

How did icarus and Daedalus escape from the island?
Daedalus created wings made from feathers for him and his son Icarus. They flew off to escape the prison. Daedalus warned Icarus that if he flew to high, the seal that he used to keep the feathers together would melt and he would fall, but he forgot his father's warning after he got the thrill of flying. Icarus flew to high and just like his father warned, the wings' wax melted and he fell to his death in the ocean. Daedalus thought the death of his son was a result of defying the god's imprisonment so he took off his wings and never used them again; living alone with the loss of his son.
