Daedalus invents wings made of feathers and wax to help him and his son Icarus escape from their imprisonment on the island of Crete. He meticulously crafts the wings to allow them to fly away, warning Icarus not to fly too close to the sun or too low to the sea. Despite his father's caution, Icarus disregards the advice, leading to his tragic downfall when the sun melts the wax, causing him to plunge into the sea.
Evangelista Torricelli did not invent the anemometer; however, the first known description of an anemometer was by Leon Battista Alberti in the 15th century. Torricelli did invent the mercury barometer in the 17th century, which measures atmospheric pressure.

Nothing, his father, Daedalus, was the inventor.
Daedalus invented wings made of feathers and wax to help him escape the labyrinth where he was imprisoned. He crafted the wings for himself and his son Icarus, allowing them to fly out of the maze. Daedalus cautioned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, as the heat would melt the wax, but Icarus disregarded this warning, leading to his tragic fall.
Daedalus invented a pair of wings made from feathers and wax to help himself and his son Icarus escape from the Labyrinth. He designed the wings to enable them to fly over the high walls of the labyrinth, avoiding imprisonment by King Minos. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, but Icarus disregarded the warning, leading to his tragic downfall.

Daedalus was shut up in a tower by King Minos of Crete because he had helped Theseus escape the Labyrinth, which Daedalus had designed to contain the Minotaur. Minos sought to punish Daedalus for his betrayal and to prevent him from revealing the secrets of the Labyrinth. The tower served as both imprisonment and a means to keep Daedalus from aiding anyone else in their escape. Ultimately, this confinement led Daedalus to invent a plan for escape by creating wings for himself and his son Icarus.
The idea of a set of wings
Daedalus, a figure from Greek mythology, is primarily motivated by a desire for knowledge, creativity, and the pursuit of mastery in his craft. His innovative spirit drives him to invent remarkable structures and devices, such as the Labyrinth and wings for flight. Additionally, his protective instincts as a father are evident in his efforts to save his son Icarus, though ultimately his motivations lead to tragic consequences. Overall, Daedalus embodies the duality of human ambition—driven by both brilliance and hubris.
Daedalus was a highly respected and talented Athenian artisan descendent from the royal family of Cecrops, the mythical first king of Athens. He was known for his skill as an architect, sculpture, and inventor, and he produced many famous works. Despite his self-confidence, Daedalus once committed a crime of envy against Talus, his nephew and apprentice. Talus, who seemed destined to become as great an artisan as his uncle Daedalus, was inspired one day to invent the saw after having seen the way a snake used its jaws. Daedalus, momentarily stricken with jealousy, threw Talus off of the Acropolis. For this crime, Daedalus was exiled to Crete and placed in the service of King Minos, where he eventually had a son, Icarus, with the beautiful Naucrate, a mistress-slave of the King. Minos called on Daedalus to build the famous Labyrinth in order to imprison the dreaded Minotaur. The Minotaur was a monster with the head of a bull and the body of a man. He was the son of Pasiphae, the wife of Minos, and a bull that Poseidon had sent to Minos as a gift. Minos was shamed by the birth of this horrible creature and resolved to imprison the Minotaur in the Labyrinth where it fed on humans, which were taken as "tribute" by Minos and sacrificed to the Minotaur in memory of his fallen son Androgenos. Theseus, the heroic King of Athens, volunteered himself to be sent to the Minotaur in the hopes of killing the beast and ending the "human tribute" that his city was forced to pay Minos. When Theseus arrived to Crete, Ariadne, Minos's daughter, fell in love with him and wished to help him survive the Minotaur. Daedalus revealed the mystery of the Labyrinth to Ariadne who in turn advised Theseus, thus enabling him to slay the Minotaur and escape from the Labyrinth. When Minos found out what Daedalus had done he was so enraged that he imprisoned Daedalus & Icarus in the Labyrinth themselves. Daedalus conceived to escape from the Labyrinth with Icarus from Crete by constructing wings and then flying to safety. He built the wings from feathers and wax, and before the two set off he warned Icarus not to fly too low lest his wings touch the waves and get wet, and not too high lest the sun melt the wax. But the young Icarus, overwhelmed by the thrill of flying, did not heed his father's warning, and flew too close to the sun whereupon the wax in his wings melted and he fell into the sea. Daedalus escaped to Sicily and Icarus' body was carried ashore by the current to an island then without a name. Heracles came across the body and recognized it, giving it burial where today there still stands a small rock promontory jutting out into the Aegean Sea, and naming the island and the sea around it after the fallen Icarus.

It was an extremely difficult maze called "The Labyrinth".Daedalus,a prisoner forced to invent for King Minos, built it and put a Minotaur(a.k.a., a 'bull') in the middle.Many people sought to escape, but not until a man named Theusus solved with the help of the king's magical daughter Achriande. She gave him a magical string, and helped him solve the puzzle of The Labyrinth.
