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.

Why was is difficult for Daedalus and Icarus to escape from Crete?
There are many different versions of the Greek myth or story of the inventor, architect and craftsman Daedalus and his son Icarus on their escape from Crete. This is a extract from one of my other answers: Daedalus was a famous master inventor and craftsman. He had fled to the island of Crete and started work for King Minos, during around 1325 BC . He created many objects for the King, that appear in various myths and legends. One of his creations was the Labyrinth of the Minotaur. Locked away inside the Labyrinth, a gigantic underground maze of misleading and seemingly endless tunnels, was a horrific monster. It was the Minotaur, a half man - half bull, bloodthirsty creature. It was the son of the kings wife, Queen Pasiphae. Daedalus had constructed a wooden cow for the queen to hide in to satisfy her love for a white bull sent by Poseidon. From this she became pregnant with the Minotaur. When the Minotaur was born, Daedalus built the Labyrinth to imprison the monster inside. The monster was always hungry for flesh, so King Minos demanded that seven men and seven women were sent to him each year. They were sent one by one into the labyrinth to be served to the Minotaur All got lost and were eaten by the Minotaur, no-one escaped. Some people lasted only hours, but some took days to find their way through the pitch black tunnels to the Minotaur This all continued for about twenty years until one brave hero, named Theseus, asked to be one of the seven men sent to the labyrinth; as he believed that he could boldly slay the beast within the maze and escape successfully, sparing the lives of fourteen innocent people each year. When Theseus set foot on the island of Crete he was introduced to the king's daughter, princess Ariadne, they instantly fell in love with each other. Ariadne gave Theseus a sword to slay the Minotaur and a large ball of string to tie to the door of the labyrinth and unroll as he journeyed through the tunnels, then follow to find his way out with. Theseus successfully slayed the monster and escaped the labyrinth, he then fled the lands of Minos with Ariadne by his side. King Minos was furious, not only had Theseus survived, but he had killed the Minotaur and stolen his daughter from him. Minos blamed the outcome on Daedalus for badly creating the labyrinth, so he decided to lock Daedalus and his son Icarus away in the labyrinth (and in some versions a tall tower). Daedalus had built the labyrinth so he therefor knew his way around. His son and him ventured through the tunnels, engulfed in darkness and thick silence. They made there way out and hid in temporary safety...
...This story is a famous Greek legend, but it is only a fictional story. Greek legends were told within the people of Greece as a pass-time. Greek people believed in many gods who lived at the summit of mount olympus. They had a god for almost everything, as a way of explaining everyday happenings that were beyond their knowledge. These gods hated humans. This formed a good base for their stories. There were many parts of these myths that contained forms of fantasy... Daedalus also featured in many other greek tales and myths. In ancient Greek; Daedalus means "Cunning Worker" and so he was, Daedalus was a well known craftsman and inventor,. All statues had their arms stuck stiffly to their sides until Daedalus made statues with their bodies in natural positions and, some people say he even gave them the power of being able to move, it was said that they were so realistic that if they werent chained up then they would run away! Daedalus claimed to be the inventor of the saw. Credit for this went to his nephew instead. Daedalus murdered him in jealousy. Because of this, he fled to Athens to work for King Minos on the island of Crete... ...By Jamie Gerrard Lievesley
What is the main idea of Daedalus and Icarus?
The main story revolves around the attempted escape of the craftsman Daedalus and his son Icarus from King Minos of Crete, who is keeping the two trapped so that they cannot spread word of the Minotaur (the half-man-half-bull creature kept in the Labyrinth which Daedalus built). The father creates wings for them both, since Minos keeps all paths by land or sea barred, which they place on their shoulders and start to fly. However Icarus, driven by desire and the recklesness of youth, flies too high, against his father's warnings, and the sun melts the wax of the wings. They collapse and the young boy plummets to his death on what is now called the Icarian Sea.
The moral of the tale is to a) follow instructions and b) observe moderation, avoiding extremes.

What story from the bible relates to Daedalus and Icarus?
Daedalus and his son, Icarus, were trapped in a bronze tower because the labyrinth that Daedalus designed to keep a Minotaur in had failed (the story of Theseus). So King Minos had him trapped. Daedalus was a brilliant inventor so after a while of thinking he had designed two pairs of wings and was starting to make them. He made the structure from old pieces of wood in the tower and Icarus stole the tail feathers from the pigeons that sat on their windowsill. Then they both attached the feathers on to the wings with wax from the beehive between the rafters. When they were ready they jumped out the window and soared in to the sky. As they were flying Daedalus told Icarus not to fly too close to the sun because it would melt the wax and he would fall, and not to fly too close to the sea because he feather would dampen and he would fall. Sadly Icarus didn't listen and went too close to the sun and the wax melted and he fell and drowned in the sea. Daedalus carried on flying, crying as he went. When he got to land he prayed to Zeus for his sons body to be set in the stars and it was.

Why does king Minos keep Daedalus?
i assume you are vaguely familiar with the story of daedalus and how he and his son where locked in a tower in crete so they could not share their secrets of the labrynth. in the tower daedalus and icarus develop 2 sets of wings created using feathers and wax. they attach the wings and launch out of the window. before hand daedalus warns icarus not to fly too close to the sun. halfway across the sea icarus forgets and flys to high. the wax melts and icarus falls into the sea and drowns. daedalus lands safely in sicily and manages to find safety in a castle. meanwhile, searched for Daedalus by travelling from city to city asking a riddle. He presented a spiral seashell and asked for a string to be run through it. When he reached Kamikos, King Cocalus, knowing Daedalus would be able to solve the riddle, privately fetched the old man to him. He tied the string to an ant which, lured by a drop of honey at one end, walked through the seashell stringing it all the way through. Minos then knew Daedalus was in the court of King Cocalus and demanded he be handed over. Cocalus managed to convince Minos to take a bath first, where Cocalus' daughters killed Minos. In some versions, Daedalus himself poured boiling water on Minos and killed him. The story im familiar with mentions how the princess manage to entangle him with some sort of magical rope that daedalus created before they kill him. in short King Minos does nothing to keep them from escaping Crete.
