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
The Labyrinth, built by Daedalus. The Minotaur was kept in this maze until Theseus killed it.
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.
daedalus invented the labyrinth and was then imprisoned in it by king minos after he helped theseus and princess aridne escape from the minotaur that was in the labyrinth
King Minos of Crete tried to imprison Daedalus in the labyrinth he had created to hold the Minotaur.
