Yes. Daedelus was the genius who created the Labyrinth for King Minos to keep the Minotaur in. When King Minos imprisoned him and his son Icarus after the completion of the maze Daedelus created wings of wax and feathers for he and Icarus to fly away. Icarus flew too close to the sun however, and melted the wax of his wings, falling to a watery grave in the ocean. Check out Jim Henson's Storytellr: Greek Myths.
