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.

Why cant pit from kid Icarus fly?
Well, look at the title. In a Greek myth, there is a boy and his father who is sent to jail. The boy's name is Icarus. They come up with a plan to get out of jail by collecting feathers and sticking them together with wax. When they were done, Icarus did not listen to his father about not going to close to the sun. So eventually, Icarus's wings melted off from the wax and he fell. Now, think about, Pit can't fly, and the title is Kid Icarus. Icarus was the boy's name, and he could not fly, just like Pit.
Who is Daedalus father?
His name was Daedalus and he was a Greek artist and inventor. He designed the labyrinth on Crete in which the Minotaur was kept, a white bull presented to King Minos as a sacrificial gift from Poseidon but Minos kept the gift for himself. Seeking revenge for the slight, Poseidon willed it that Minos wife would lust after the bull. The labyrinth was built to contain the bull and keep Minos wife away from it. King Minos, fearing Daedalus would spread the knowledge of the labyrinth made him and his son Icarus prisoners in a tower in Crete. Not happy with imprisonment at all, Daedalus built himself a pair of wings based on his observations of birds and how they flew. He fastened the larger feathers together with string and the smaller feathers with wax. Once finished he tested his new invention only to discover he could soar through the sky like a bird. He then built his son a pair of wings and taught him how to fly. The plan was to fly out of Crete and across the sea to safety and Daedalus warned his son Icarus not to soar too high as the sun would melt the wax or not to fly to low as the foam of the sea would weigh the feathers down and make the wings useless. Icarus, being young and impetuous ignored his fathers pleas to show restraint, and upon finding his newfound freedom kept soaring ever higher until the heat of the sun finally melted the wax that kept the wings together and Icarus plummeted to his death leaving a grieving and bitter Daedalus to find safety alone in either Sicily or Cumae depending on whose story you're reading. The irony of this myth today is that it is Icarus who is remembered and known, and while those who know the myth know it was Icarus father who created the wings, few remember his name. Icarus was used by poets throughout antiquity and it was ultimately the fifteenth century Spanish poets relying on the story as told by Ovid who solidified Icarus' fame fashioning him as some sort of audacious hero who's own hubris brought about his tragic end. The myth more times than not is interpreted to demonstrate the folly of man and his insatiable drive to be better than, to be more than who we are. Icarus is used as cautionary tale as to our own limitations. The sad irony of this is that Daedalus survived and where Icarus failed, Daedalus succeeded. Why is it today that the failure of this myth is better known than the one who succeeded? Why is Icarus such a prominent literary name and Daedalus not? I do not know the answer to that question but I am grateful for the question that was asked as it gave me an opportunity to praise the one worthy of praise.
What did Daedalus make to get off of Crete?
Daedalus, the legendary architect and inventor at the court of King Minos of Crete, was tasked with the construction of a vast, subterranean Labyrinth. The King ordered the maze built to secrete away the monstrous Minotaur, the offspring of Minos' wife and a magical, libidinous bull. When his project was complete, Daedalus found that the disloyal Minos had decided to trap him inside the Labyrinth, so that he could never reveal the secrets of the place.Being a clever and imaginative sort of legendary figure, Daedalus concocted a plan to escape from the prison of his own design by fashioning wings out of birds' feathers and wax. He made one pair of wings for himself and one for his son, Icarus, issuing the ominous warning that Icarus should not fly too close to the sun for fear of melting the wax which held the wings together. And naturally, this being ancient Greek folklore, Icarus ignored the warnings of his father and flew as high as possible, melting the wax on his wings and plummeting to the earth like a leaden amphora.Thus, Daedalus gave us both a thrilling story of a cunningly resourceful (albeit improbable) escape from hostile territory and the world's most hackneyed metaphor for overreaching ambition.
