Daedalus, son of Icarus, was a legendary Greek inventor and craftsman who is best known for creating the Labyrinth for King Minos of Crete. He is also remembered for his role in helping his son, Icarus, escape from the island of Crete by constructing wings made of feathers and wax. Unfortunately, Icarus flew too close to the sun, melting the wax and causing him to fall into the sea. Daedalus is remembered as a symbol of human ingenuity and creativity.
