He crafted two pair of wings (one for him, one for his son, Icarus), our of feathers, wood and beeswax. Using them, he flew away with his son.
The Labyrinth, built by Daedalus. The Minotaur was kept in this maze until Theseus killed it.
If you mean his wings, then it was to escape his imprisonment by King Minos for the knowledge he might give out about the labyrinth (which Daedalus had created). If you mean the labyrinth, then it is because King Minos made him create it so he could imprison his wife's son, the Minotaur.
the Labyrinth (where later the Minotaur was confined)
Daedalus and his son Icarus had been imprisoned in a tall tower that structurally contained no stairs and no doors. The only window to the outside world was just that- a window. However, other tales suggest that Daedalus and his son escaped by sea, out-sailing King Minos's ships by being the first ever to attach "sails" on a boat.
In Greek mythology Icarus flew too close to the sun, despite warnings from his father Daedalus, when attempting escape from King Minos.
Daedalus was imprisoned in the Labyrinth on Crete by King Minos. He wanted to escape but Minos' navy patrolled all the coast.Daedalus knew that the King did not rule the sky so, he came up with the idea of building wings for himself and his son, Icarus to fly out.Where did he get the idea … realizing the Minos did not rule the sky.
