Daedalus and Icarus

Will Roberts2020
The classic story of Daedalus the brilliant engineer who built The Labyrinth to house the Minotaur, for King Minos, but who fell out of favour and was imprisoned in a tower. He made wings of wax and feathers for his son Icarus and himself, and flew away from the island and their captors. Unfortunately, despite warnings from his father, Icarus flew too close to the sun, the wax holding his wings together melted and he plunged into the sea.
