Daedalus

Yes, it was called the labyrinth. Minos was keeping them there, until they escaped of course. Daedelus made pairs of wings, and they flew out the window. Icarus died on the way to freedom because he didn't listen to his father's advice.

Because no one had ever gotten out before and it had to take a 'genius' to figure it out.

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.

the Labyrinth (where later the Minotaur was confined)

Because Daedalus helped Queen Pasiphaë mate with the white bull and give birth to the Minotaur.

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.

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.

Hmm, that does sound like a brick, but I don't see exactly why Daedalus would have done that.

if you use trap hole when your opponent summons it, the monster is destroyed and is unable to destroy umi. So yes, you can use trap hole before he destroys everything heh.

People of Crete may perceive Daedalus and Icarus as gods due to their extraordinary ability to fly, which is often associated with divine powers in mythology. The sight of them soaring through the sky could evoke awe and wonder, leading the locals to attribute supernatural qualities to them. Additionally, the mythological context of Daedalus as a skilled craftsman and innovator might enhance their perception of him and his son as figures of reverence rather than mere mortals.

Daedalus and Icarus are often seen as symbolic "angels" in the context of their story, representing the duality of human aspiration and the consequences of hubris. Daedalus, a skilled craftsman, symbolizes creativity and the pursuit of knowledge, while Icarus embodies the youthful ambition and desire to transcend human limits. Their tale serves as a cautionary reminder of the dangers of overreaching, suggesting that while the pursuit of greatness is noble, it must be tempered with wisdom and humility. Thus, they embody both the potential for human innovation and the peril of ignoring boundaries.

He pushed his nephew Perdix off of a building because he thought Perdix would be smarter than him.

King Minos of Knossos in Crete.

Yes, so the story goes.

Both Icarus and Daedalus were imprisoned by King Minos of Crete. Daedalus was a great inventor and he made 2 pairs of wings that could be attached to their backs with wax so they could fly away from the window of their prison. He warned Icarus not to fly too high or too low, as the sun would melt the wax and the sea water they flew over would crack it, but the feeling of flying made Icarus careless and he flew too close to the sun, feeling like a god. His father told him to be sensible but he didn't listen and the wax melted, and Icarus plummeted to his death in the sea.

Thomas Cahill's book SAILING THE WINE-DARK SEA: WHY THE GREEKS MATTER contains a "pronouncing glossary" that gives us "Dee - da - lus." According to other words listed there, it looks like "ae" in Greek is pronounced "eee"

In order to escape the labyrinth Daedalus had built and then been locked in by King Minos, he built wings for himself and his son Icarus. Their escape plan began as a success but as they were flying over the sea, Icarus' wings started to fall apart and he fell into the sea and drowned.

hi

Daedalus received the brand by Athena after he attempted to kill Perdix. Athena saved Perdix by transforming him into a Perdix bird, or a Partridge. It can be assumed that he was branded with a partridge.
