In the Hellenistic versions of the Minotaur myth, Daedalus was Athenian. It bothered him that the prison he built for the Minotaur was also used to imprison young Athenian men and women to serve as sacrifice for the monster.
He probably regretted it more when he was imprisoned in it himself, through.
the Labyrinth (where later the Minotaur was confined)
The Labyrinth, built by Daedalus. The Minotaur was kept in this maze until Theseus killed it.
Daedalus, a skilled craftsman and inventor in Greek mythology, became involved with the Minotaur through his work for King Minos of Crete. Minos commissioned Daedalus to construct the Labyrinth, a complex maze designed to contain the Minotaur, a creature that was half-man and half-bull, born from the unnatural union of Minos's wife and a bull. Daedalus was compelled to create the Labyrinth as part of his service to Minos, which ultimately led to the tragic events surrounding the Minotaur and its eventual defeat by Theseus.
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.
If you mean his wings, then it was to escape his imprisonment by King Minos for the knowledge he might give out about the labyrinth (which Daedalus had created). If you mean the labyrinth, then it is because King Minos made him create it so he could imprison his wife's son, the Minotaur.
Minos imprisoned Daedalus in the labyrinth because he was upset with Daedalus for helping Theseus escape from the labyrinth after slaying the Minotaur. Daedalus, a skilled inventor and craftsman, had designed the labyrinth itself, and Minos feared that he might reveal its secrets or assist others in escaping. By confining Daedalus, Minos aimed to prevent any further disruption and retain control over the labyrinth's mysteries.
King Minos became angry with Daedalus because he believed Daedalus had aided Theseus in escaping the Labyrinth, which Daedalus had designed. This betrayal undermined Minos's authority and the security of the Labyrinth, where he had imprisoned the Minotaur. In retaliation, Minos imprisoned Daedalus and his son Icarus in the very Labyrinth that Daedalus had created, seeking to prevent further escape or treachery.
Minos imprisoned Daedalus in the labyrinth because Daedalus had helped Theseus escape from the labyrinth after he killed the Minotaur. Minos, the king of Crete, sought to keep the labyrinth's design a secret and viewed Daedalus as a threat due to his knowledge of the intricate maze. By confining him within the very structure he created, Minos aimed to prevent Daedalus from revealing its secrets.
In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth was designed by the inventor, Daedalus.

Daedalus, at the request of Minos of Crete.
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.
the Labyrinth (where later the Minotaur was confined)
If you're talking about the labyrinth that held the Minotaur, then it was Daedalus, who created the labyrinth for King Minos of Crete at Knossos.
King Minos wants daedalus' knowledge. and also, daedalus let theseus(a demigod) kill king minos' minotaur(Half-bullman) and surpass the maze of the labyrinth. and kill eventually kill the daughter of minos(theseus did that). and also daedalus was the inventor of the labyrinth. and he is the one who can navigate it perfectly.the maze was designed to fool you. but not him.
The labyrinth was created by the inventor Daedalus, and was then kept in the maze by King Minos of Crete. King Minos used the minotaur as sacrifices of young men.
