the story of Daedalus and Icarus was a sad story Daedalus was a famous inventor and father of Icarus. He at the time created the Labyrinth, an extreme maze said to hold dangerous monsters. Many kings wanted to the secret of the maze and Daedalus didnt want to give it to them. Some kings even held him captive in jail along with his son Icarus. Daedalus being the great inventor that he is tried to escape the jail cell and thought of creating wings. When the wings were finished being created Icarus didn't listen to the precautions of flying too high or too low. The wax on the wings melted off and Icarus's wings fell apart, then Icarus died because he fell into the ocean.

depends. which word do you want the part of speech of?
Daedalus is a concerned father primarily because he goes to great lengths to protect his son, Icarus, from danger. He creates intricate plans, such as crafting wings made of feathers and wax, to ensure their escape from imprisonment. His warnings to Icarus about flying too close to the sun illustrate his deep care and desire to keep his son safe, even if Icarus ultimately disregards this advice. Daedalus's actions reflect a profound sense of responsibility and love for his child.
Both Icarus and Daedalus were imprisoned by King Minos of Crete. Daedalus was a great inventor and he made 2 pairs of wings that could be attached to their backs with wax so they could fly away from the window of their prison. He warned Icarus not to fly too high or too low, as the sun would melt the wax and the sea water they flew over would crack it, but the feeling of flying made Icarus careless and he flew too close to the sun, feeling like a god. His father told him to be sensible but he didn't listen and the wax melted, and Icarus plummeted to his death in the sea.

When Daedalus advised his son Icarus not to rely on "fancy steering by star or constellation," he meant that Icarus should not be overly ambitious or reckless in his flight. Instead of trying to reach great heights or pursue lofty dreams without caution, he should focus on maintaining a steady and safe course. This warning highlights the importance of moderation and the dangers of hubris, foreshadowing Icarus's tragic downfall when he ignores his father's advice.
