Did Daedalus have a last name?

Last Names, or Surnames, weren't common until the Middle Ages, and even then, they were used predominantly to identify either lineage (father to son or father to daughter) or professions (i.e. Shoemaker, Thatcher, Smith, etc).

Daedalus would not have had a Surname. Most people in Ancient Greece would simply have been known by a name. Only people of importance would need to be known by their lineage, such as "Daedalus, son of Palamaon", or by their city of residence "Daedalus of Athens/Crete". People of great renown might even have an epithet, such as how Apollo had the epithets "Phoebus" and "Pythos".

What caused Daedalus and Icarus' escape plan to fail?

Daedalus and Icarus' plan failed, because wax was joining wings to their backs, and Icarus flew too close to the sun, causing the wax to melt and him to fall to his death.

Why were Daedalus and Icarus important?

Daedalus and Icarus were characters of Greek Mythology. Daedalus was the creator of the Labyrinth. Icarus was his son. Minos, King of Crete, captured both Daedalus and Icarus in the Labyrinth. Daedalus invented some bronze wings in the prison to help him and his son escape. They escaped successfully, but Icarus, ignoring his father's warnings, swooped low, touching the sea. So he drowned. Daedalus didn't die, but he lived missing his son every second from then on.

What happened with the mother of Icarus?

Dear Sir

I'm sorry. My English are not very good.

I know something about greek mythology...

I am writing a fiction book about Icarus and I wanted to know everything

about his mythologic mother.

But even in the case of profanity, an African proverb says that

it is very easy to be lost in the profane world or to forget our connection with the spirit.

And yet, without this bond we are only dead alive.

What was the story of Daedalus and Icarus?

Daedalus was locked in a tower by King Midos (Or Minas, whatever the one with the labyrinth) with his nephew Icarus. He was forced to make the labyrinth.(Which would house the Minotaur, which is another story) One day, Daedalus thought of escape, and saw birds. He made mechanical wings using their feathers, a pair for he and his nephew. They both applied wax to them onto their backs and jumped out a window. Daedalus told his nephew not to fly too close to the sun, but he was bratty/brave and did it and the wax melted plummeting Icarus to his doom. Daedalus went home and never flew again.

Did Daedalus kill his son?

Very indirectly. Icarus died when he flew too close to the sun, which made his wings melt and caused him to fall from the sky. Daedalus invented those wings. However, he loved his son, and continuously warned him about the dangers of flying.

What motivates Daedalus to push perdix from the high tower?

perdix was smiled apon by many of his supioriors, and as many years of solitude in the labrynth had made him, daedalus was bitter, angry, and jealous of the young boy's success. after perdix had finished explaining his plan of giving man eternal life through both magic and automations, something in daedalus snapped. in a sudden loss of self-control, daedalus called out to perdix, who stood out apon the edge of a rail-less balcony, to cath a small stone or something of that size. Perdix reached out to cath it, but it had sailed too far out over the edge. just barely grazing the small object with his fingertips, perdix's foot slipped off the edge of the prim platform and as he fell, he managed to grasp the edge of the balcony with a single hand. his uncle had been watching the unfolding events, but now made no move to help his own nephew. "Uncle!" screamed Perdix. "Help me!" but again the old inventor made no move toward the boy. daedalus then remarked: "now let us see who is the wiser one of us. go ahead and create your infernal device for eternal life. be quick about it now." and perdix's hand slipped. "uncle!" he screamed, and then the young boy fell to his death. the old man snatched up the scroll containing perdix's plans for his machine. then he was spoken to by his mother, the great goddess of wisdom and battle strategy, Athena. she told him: "You will pay the price for the murder of perdix, daedalus." daedalus scowled at the sky and said: "I've paid and paid! i have always honored your way, and have your blessing apon my head." the goddess replied:i had also blessed the boy, and now you have killed him. you will be punished daedalus." he told her, "i know that i will suffer in the afterlife, I've no doubts." "you do not understand," she said. "you will pay now, andyou die." and with that, a searing-hot pain closed around the base of his collar. he would be branded with a partridge, the mark of a murderer, no matter what form he took for the rest of his life.

Is Daedalus real?

no, Daedalus as like all of the rest of the Greek Gods and Goddess were made up in the olden days to help the people understand why things were like they were

Who are Daedalus and Icarus?

Daedalus was a clever inventor, the creator of many things including the Labyrinth (the Minotaur's prison). Eventually, that's where he was imprisoned as well, and he made it so cunningly that even he couldn't find his way out.

Icarus was the son of Daedalus. Daedalus had come up with a plan to escape; by taking to the skies. He created two pairs of wings that would be stuck to their backs with wax. He warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, or the wax would melt and he would fall. Of course, filled with the exhilaration of flying, he did just that and fell to his death.
