Greece has been in a period of economic depression for several years. Thus, its money doesn't have a lot of value compared to U.S. dollars. The current exchange is .004 (or less than a half a penny) for 1 drachma.
How much money does Greece owe?
Because they sold bonds to investors which came due and they did not have enough money to pay them because of a weakening economy as a result of the 2008-2009 financial crisis. This led them to get bailout loans from other nations that put them further in debt. They have received 2 big bailouts already and now need a 3rd very soon to avoid default on more loans coming due. Forced austerity measures as conditions placed on further bailouts will cause their economy to contract and reduce their ability to ever get out of debt. They are in a downward spiral so to speak with no real hope of getting out of it. This is why their bond prices have plummeted and their interest rates have shot up. Their bonds have been reduced to non-investment grade status so they cannot even sell more bonds to raise money to pay off the ones coming due. The European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) will decide soon what do in the next bailout. A recent proposal (not yet finalized) as part of the bailout is for the EFSF to partially insure Greek Bonds against default to encourage investors to buy them again. The final plan is to be announced October 26, 2011.

What did Daedalus make to get off of Crete?
Daedalus, the legendary architect and inventor at the court of King Minos of Crete, was tasked with the construction of a vast, subterranean Labyrinth. The King ordered the maze built to secrete away the monstrous Minotaur, the offspring of Minos' wife and a magical, libidinous bull. When his project was complete, Daedalus found that the disloyal Minos had decided to trap him inside the Labyrinth, so that he could never reveal the secrets of the place.
Being a clever and imaginative sort of legendary figure, Daedalus concocted a plan to escape from the prison of his own design by fashioning wings out of birds' feathers and wax. He made one pair of wings for himself and one for his son, Icarus, issuing the ominous warning that Icarus should not fly too close to the sun for fear of melting the wax which held the wings together. And naturally, this being ancient Greek folklore, Icarus ignored the warnings of his father and flew as high as possible, melting the wax on his wings and plummeting to the earth like a leaden amphora.
Thus, Daedalus gave us both a thrilling story of a cunningly resourceful (albeit improbable) escape from hostile territory and the world's most hackneyed metaphor for overreaching ambition.
