In "Echo and Narcissus," the supernatural element is central to the story's theme of unrequited love and punishment from the gods. Echo's cursed voice and Narcissus being doomed to fall in love with his own reflection are both consequences of divine intervention. In "Daedalus and Icarus," the supernatural element is more about the creation of the wax wings and the labyrinth designed by Daedalus. The focus is on the ingenuity and craftsmanship of Daedalus rather than supernatural punishment. The tragic ending where Icarus flies too close to the sun is more a consequence of human arrogance and ignorance than direct divine intervention.
Daedalus was exiled to the island of Crete after he killed his nephew, Talos, out of jealousy for his talent in crafting. To escape his punishment in Athens, he fled to Crete, where he became the chief architect for King Minos. There, he designed the labyrinth to house the Minotaur, a creature born from Minos' wife. Daedalus' exile ultimately set the stage for his later adventures and the tragic tale of his son, Icarus.
Minos believed that if Daedalus, the master craftsman, could not escape the labyrinth he designed, it would highlight his own superiority and control over the situation. By keeping Daedalus trapped, Minos aimed to demonstrate that even the greatest intellect could be bested by his own creation. Additionally, it served as a punishment for Daedalus’s role in helping Theseus defeat the Minotaur, reinforcing Minos's authority and power.
