What motivates Daedalus to push perdix from the high tower?
perdix was smiled apon by many of his supioriors, and as many years of solitude in the labrynth had made him, daedalus was bitter, angry, and jealous of the young boy's success. after perdix had finished explaining his plan of giving man eternal life through both magic and automations, something in daedalus snapped. in a sudden loss of self-control, daedalus called out to perdix, who stood out apon the edge of a rail-less balcony, to cath a small stone or something of that size. Perdix reached out to cath it, but it had sailed too far out over the edge. just barely grazing the small object with his fingertips, perdix's foot slipped off the edge of the prim platform and as he fell, he managed to grasp the edge of the balcony with a single hand. his uncle had been watching the unfolding events, but now made no move to help his own nephew. "Uncle!" screamed Perdix. "Help me!" but again the old inventor made no move toward the boy. daedalus then remarked: "now let us see who is the wiser one of us. go ahead and create your infernal device for eternal life. be quick about it now." and perdix's hand slipped. "uncle!" he screamed, and then the young boy fell to his death. the old man snatched up the scroll containing perdix's plans for his machine. then he was spoken to by his mother, the great goddess of wisdom and battle strategy, Athena. she told him: "You will pay the price for the murder of perdix, daedalus." daedalus scowled at the sky and said: "I've paid and paid! i have always honored your way, and have your blessing apon my head." the goddess replied:i had also blessed the boy, and now you have killed him. you will be punished daedalus." he told her, "i know that i will suffer in the afterlife, I've no doubts." "you do not understand," she said. "you will pay now, andyou die." and with that, a searing-hot pain closed around the base of his collar. he would be branded with a partridge, the mark of a murderer, no matter what form he took for the rest of his life.

Daedalus accepts his imprisonment as something he can do nothing abouttrue or false?
It depends on which version of the myths you read. In the oldest versions, Daedalus was a Cretan, a loyal subject of Minos. After the fall of the Minoans and the rise of the Hellenes, The story was retold with Daedalus being Athenian-born, the son of a previous king who fled after an unfortunate murder. In any event, the "escape" from Crete was an invention of the Hellenes and even later people, who cite Daedalus as having lived for a time in Sicily and Cumae. Even later versions of his life state that he killed a rival named Perdix, who was his nephew (Athena turned poor Perdix into a Partridge out of pity), and that was why he left Athens in the first place.
