Minos believed that if Daedalus, the skilled craftsman and inventor, could not find his way out of the Labyrinth he designed, it would demonstrate the maze's complexity and his own superiority. Minos wanted to punish Daedalus for helping Theseus escape the Labyrinth, fearing that Daedalus's ingenuity could expose his vulnerabilities. By trapping Daedalus, he aimed to ensure that the secret of the Labyrinth remained hidden and that no one could replicate its design. Thus, Minos's confidence in the labyrinth's design stemmed from his belief in his own power and control over Daedalus.
Daedalus come to Crete to build his awesome Labyrinth and to defeat the minotaur that ravages the island to get far away from Athens as possible.A skilled inventor and craftsman, Daedalus was hired by King Minos of Crete, to create the Labyrinth, in order to house the Minotaur.This is all I know, maybe you can find better answers than me
There are many different versions of the Greek myth or story of the inventor, architect and craftsman Daedalus and his son Icarus on their escape from Crete. This is a extract from one of my other answers: Daedalus was a famous master inventor and craftsman. He had fled to the island of Crete and started work for King Minos, during around 1325 BC . He created many objects for the King, that appear in various myths and legends. One of his creations was the Labyrinth of the Minotaur. Locked away inside the Labyrinth, a gigantic underground maze of misleading and seemingly endless tunnels, was a horrific monster. It was the Minotaur, a half man - half bull, bloodthirsty creature. It was the son of the kings wife, Queen Pasiphae. Daedalus had constructed a wooden cow for the queen to hide in to satisfy her love for a white bull sent by Poseidon. From this she became pregnant with the Minotaur. When the Minotaur was born, Daedalus built the Labyrinth to imprison the monster inside. The monster was always hungry for flesh, so King Minos demanded that seven men and seven women were sent to him each year. They were sent one by one into the labyrinth to be served to the Minotaur All got lost and were eaten by the Minotaur, no-one escaped. Some people lasted only hours, but some took days to find their way through the pitch black tunnels to the Minotaur This all continued for about twenty years until one brave hero, named Theseus, asked to be one of the seven men sent to the labyrinth; as he believed that he could boldly slay the beast within the maze and escape successfully, sparing the lives of fourteen innocent people each year. When Theseus set foot on the island of Crete he was introduced to the king's daughter, princess Ariadne, they instantly fell in love with each other. Ariadne gave Theseus a sword to slay the Minotaur and a large ball of string to tie to the door of the labyrinth and unroll as he journeyed through the tunnels, then follow to find his way out with. Theseus successfully slayed the monster and escaped the labyrinth, he then fled the lands of Minos with Ariadne by his side. King Minos was furious, not only had Theseus survived, but he had killed the Minotaur and stolen his daughter from him. Minos blamed the outcome on Daedalus for badly creating the labyrinth, so he decided to lock Daedalus and his son Icarus away in the labyrinth (and in some versions a tall tower). Daedalus had built the labyrinth so he therefor knew his way around. His son and him ventured through the tunnels, engulfed in darkness and thick silence. They made there way out and hid in temporary safety... ...This story is a famous Greek legend, but it is only a fictional story. Greek legends were told within the people of Greece as a pass-time. Greek people believed in many gods who lived at the summit of mount olympus. They had a god for almost everything, as a way of explaining everyday happenings that were beyond their knowledge. These gods hated humans. This formed a good base for their stories. There were many parts of these myths that contained forms of fantasy... Daedalus also featured in many other greek tales and myths. In ancient Greek; Daedalus means "Cunning Worker" and so he was, Daedalus was a well known craftsman and inventor,. All statues had their arms stuck stiffly to their sides until Daedalus made statues with their bodies in natural positions and, some people say he even gave them the power of being able to move, it was said that they were so realistic that if they werent chained up then they would run away! Daedalus claimed to be the inventor of the saw. Credit for this went to his nephew instead. Daedalus murdered him in jealousy. Because of this, he fled to Athens to work for King Minos on the island of Crete... ...By Jamie Gerrard Lievesley
Theseus saves the Athenians from King Minos by volunteering to be one of the youths sent as tribute to Crete, where they would be sacrificed to the Minotaur. With the help of Ariadne, Minos's daughter, who provides him with a ball of thread to navigate the Labyrinth, Theseus defeats the Minotaur. After killing the creature, he uses the thread to find his way back out, leading the other Athenian tributes to safety and ultimately returning to Athens as a hero. His actions free Athens from the tribute imposed by Minos.
No, but she had children (without having sex. You can find this out by asking 'Was Daedalus a son of Athena', I wrote the answer and how there).
Daedalus gave Ariadne a ball of thread to help her navigate the Labyrinth. This thread allowed her to find her way back after helping Theseus defeat the Minotaur, enabling him to escape the maze. The thread symbolizes guidance and ingenuity in overcoming challenges.
Minos believed that if Daedalus could not find his way out of the Labyrinth, it would demonstrate the superiority of his own design and intellect. Daedalus, as the creator of the Labyrinth, would be unable to escape his own intricate creation, highlighting the complexity and brilliance of Minos's architectural vision. This notion also served to reinforce Minos's authority and control over Daedalus, asserting that even the master craftsman was ultimately at the mercy of the labyrinthine structure.
Minos believed that if Daedalus couldn't find his way out of the Labyrinth he designed, it would demonstrate the superiority of his own cunning and intelligence. By trapping Daedalus, Minos aimed to ensure that the secret of the Labyrinth remained hidden, as Daedalus was the only one who truly understood its complex design. This reflected Minos's desire to maintain control and assert his dominance over those he deemed inferior. Ultimately, it was a testament to the consequences of hubris and the value of ingenuity.
Minos believed that if Daedalus, the brilliant inventor, could not escape the labyrinth he designed, it showcased the complexity and effectiveness of the maze itself. Daedalus's failure to navigate the labyrinth would serve as proof of its impenetrability, reinforcing Minos's power and control over the situation. Additionally, Minos may have thought that a master craftsman like Daedalus would be able to create something even more intricate, further emphasizing the labyrinth's superiority.
Minos believed that if Daedalus, the brilliant inventor who created the Labyrinth, could not find his way out, it would demonstrate his own superiority and control over the situation. Daedalus' inability to escape would serve as a punishment for his earlier defiance in helping Theseus and would reinforce Minos' power as the king. Additionally, it highlighted the irony of a master craftsman trapped by his own creation.
Minos believed that if Daedalus couldn't find his way home, it would prevent him from sharing the secrets of the Labyrinth and the Minotaur with others, thereby protecting his own power and the integrity of his creations. By keeping Daedalus trapped, Minos aimed to ensure that the ingenious inventor remained a captive of his own design and couldn't escape to reveal crucial knowledge. This reflects Minos's desire to maintain control and safeguard his kingdom from potential threats.

By trapping Daedalus, Minos aimed to showcase his control over the situation, emphasizing that even the most clever could be outsmarted. This belief also served to instill fear in others, deterring any thoughts of rebellion or escape from his rule. Ultimately, Minos saw it as a way to maintain his dominance over both Daedalus and the Minotaur's labyrinthine prison.
Minos believed that if Daedalus, who built the Labyrinth in Crete, couldn't find his way out of it, then it must be an exceptionally secure and impenetrable structure. This helped Minos feel confident in the Labyrinth's ability to confine the Minotaur and prevent it from escaping.
i assume you are vaguely familiar with the story of daedalus and how he and his son where locked in a tower in crete so they could not share their secrets of the labrynth. in the tower daedalus and icarus develop 2 sets of wings created using feathers and wax. they attach the wings and launch out of the window. before hand daedalus warns icarus not to fly too close to the sun. halfway across the sea icarus forgets and flys to high. the wax melts and icarus falls into the sea and drowns. daedalus lands safely in sicily and manages to find safety in a castle. meanwhile, searched for Daedalus by travelling from city to city asking a riddle. He presented a spiral seashell and asked for a string to be run through it. When he reached Kamikos, King Cocalus, knowing Daedalus would be able to solve the riddle, privately fetched the old man to him. He tied the string to an ant which, lured by a drop of honey at one end, walked through the seashell stringing it all the way through. Minos then knew Daedalus was in the court of King Cocalus and demanded he be handed over. Cocalus managed to convince Minos to take a bath first, where Cocalus' daughters killed Minos. In some versions, Daedalus himself poured boiling water on Minos and killed him. The story im familiar with mentions how the princess manage to entangle him with some sort of magical rope that daedalus created before they kill him. in short King Minos does nothing to keep them from escaping Crete.
