Daedalus
Greek inventor Daedalus escaped the labyrinth of Minos by carving wax wings for himself and his son, Icarus. They flew out of the labyrinth using them. Despite the warnings of his father, Icarus flew too high and his wax wings melted by the heat of sun. Daedalus was able to escape but Icarus fell to his death.
Daedalus invented a pair of wings made from feathers and wax to help himself and his son Icarus escape from the Labyrinth. He designed the wings to enable them to fly over the high walls of the labyrinth, avoiding imprisonment by King Minos. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, but Icarus disregarded the warning, leading to his tragic downfall.
Daedalus is a skilled craftsman and inventor in Greek mythology, best known for creating the Labyrinth to imprison the Minotaur. His son, Icarus, is famous for flying too close to the sun with wings made of feathers and wax that Daedalus designed. Ignoring his father's warnings, Icarus melts his wings and falls into the sea, symbolizing the dangers of hubris and disobedience. Their story serves as a cautionary tale about the limits of human ambition and the consequences of ignoring wisdom.
