What is the lesson taught in the story of Daedalus and icarus?
You shouldn't take advantage of what you already have.
Daedalus was a Greek inventor, who was exiled in Crete. He created the underground maze, the Labyrinth. He was possibly instructed by Athena, the goddess.
Daedalus is the greek name for the title of 'Divine Mason/Architect'. The Sanskrit term for the same title is 'Viswakarma'.
Daedalus is a mythical figure, not a historical one. The story comes from a time when Crete was the dominant power in the Greek-speaking world, prior to the Trojan War and the emergence of Athens as a major city.
What is the theme of the story of icarus and Daedalus?
The Allusion refers to one following the rules or laws of society. The rule of law was put into place to protect us. In this case, Icarus refused to listen to his father and got caught up in the glory of flight. He was told to stay away from the sun but ignored his father, Deadalus, and few to towards the sun. This resulted into the glue melting from the wings which fell off his back and eventuality Icarus's death into the ocean.
Daedalus for the killing of his nephew Perdix was changed by goddess Athena to the bird partridge. A bird which is causius about hights. Avoids to fly to long distance and high and nests in the hedges
Yes, I just read that Wikipedia article as well ._.
Anyways, Perdix was the one who was turned into the Patridge, when he fell off of the cliff. Daedalus died simply of old age.
His name was Daedalus and he was a Greek artist and inventor. He designed the labyrinth on Crete in which the Minotaur was kept, a white bull presented to King Minos as a sacrificial gift from Poseidon but Minos kept the gift for himself. Seeking revenge for the slight, Poseidon willed it that Minos wife would lust after the bull. The labyrinth was built to contain the bull and keep Minos wife away from it. King Minos, fearing Daedalus would spread the knowledge of the labyrinth made him and his son Icarus prisoners in a tower in Crete.
Not happy with imprisonment at all, Daedalus built himself a pair of wings based on his observations of birds and how they flew. He fastened the larger feathers together with string and the smaller feathers with wax. Once finished he tested his new invention only to discover he could soar through the sky like a bird. He then built his son a pair of wings and taught him how to fly. The plan was to fly out of Crete and across the sea to safety and Daedalus warned his son Icarus not to soar too high as the sun would melt the wax or not to fly to low as the foam of the sea would weigh the feathers down and make the wings useless.
Icarus, being young and impetuous ignored his fathers pleas to show restraint, and upon finding his newfound freedom kept soaring ever higher until the heat of the sun finally melted the wax that kept the wings together and Icarus plummeted to his death leaving a grieving and bitter Daedalus to find safety alone in either Sicily or Cumae depending on whose story you're reading.
The irony of this myth today is that it is Icarus who is remembered and known, and while those who know the myth know it was Icarus father who created the wings, few remember his name. Icarus was used by poets throughout antiquity and it was ultimately the fifteenth century Spanish poets relying on the story as told by Ovid who solidified Icarus' fame fashioning him as some sort of audacious hero who's own hubris brought about his tragic end. The myth more times than not is interpreted to demonstrate the folly of man and his insatiable drive to be better than, to be more than who we are. Icarus is used as cautionary tale as to our own limitations. The sad irony of this is that Daedalus survived and where Icarus failed, Daedalus succeeded.
Why is it today that the failure of this myth is better known than the one who succeeded? Why is Icarus such a prominent literary name and Daedalus not? I do not know the answer to that question but I am grateful for the question that was asked as it gave me an opportunity to praise the one worthy of praise.
In The Legend of Icarus where did Daedalus get the wax to make the wings from?
That is an undisclosed secret.
What superhuman qualites does Daedalus possess?
Well, since Daedalus was human, all of his qualities were human qualities.
Why was Daedalus asked to build the Labyrinth?
It was to imprison his wife Pasiphae's son, the half-man, half-bull monster, the Minotaur.
What is the moral of Daedalus and Icarus?
If you work really hard, and if you aren't selfish, you can leave all your problems and troubles behind. Take advice from your elders. And, that if you try too hard to avoid danger, than you might put yourself in more of it.
If I think I know what you you are talking about, it is the simple predicate. Were is the helping verb here to the main verb imprisoned, but the entire phrase were imprisoned is considered the simple predicate.

What is the symbol of Daedalus?
He's not a god, so he wouldn't really have a symbol. Although if you really needed a symbol, you could put either the Labyrinth, wings, or a bird as one of the symbols...

How did icarus and Daedalus escape from the island?
Daedalus created wings made from feathers for him and his son Icarus. They flew off to escape the prison. Daedalus warned Icarus that if he flew to high, the seal that he used to keep the feathers together would melt and he would fall, but he forgot his father's warning after he got the thrill of flying. Icarus flew to high and just like his father warned, the wings' wax melted and he fell to his death in the ocean. Daedalus thought the death of his son was a result of defying the god's imprisonment so he took off his wings and never used them again; living alone with the loss of his son.
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.
