Daedalus was locked in a tower by King Midos (Or Minas, whatever the one with the labyrinth) with his nephew Icarus. He was forced to make the labyrinth.(Which would house the Minotaur, which is another story) One day, Daedalus thought of escape, and saw birds. He made mechanical wings using their feathers, a pair for he and his nephew. They both applied wax to them onto their backs and jumped out a window. Daedalus told his nephew not to fly too close to the sun, but he was bratty/brave and did it and the wax melted plummeting Icarus to his doom. Daedalus went home and never flew again.


Why is Daedalus jealous of talus?

Daedalus is jealous of Talus, his nephew, because Talus demonstrates exceptional skill and creativity in crafting intricate designs, surpassing Daedalus's own talents. This jealousy is compounded by the fear that Talus could potentially outshine him and claim the title of the greatest inventor. Ultimately, Daedalus's envy drives him to take drastic actions against Talus, leading to tragic consequences.

Daedalus was exiled to the island of Crete after he killed his nephew, Talos, out of jealousy for his talent in crafting. To escape his punishment in Athens, he fled to Crete, where he became the chief architect for King Minos. There, he designed the labyrinth to house the Minotaur, a creature born from Minos' wife. Daedalus' exile ultimately set the stage for his later adventures and the tragic tale of his son, Icarus.
