Once upon a time, a long time ago there lived a talented artist. His name was Daedalus. He was probably the finest architect of his time. The king of Crete wanted him to build a maze for his beloved pet the Minotaur.
Daedalus was a bit amazed at the King's choice of pet but a job is a job.The maze was a type of challenged and anyone who entered would be lost until rescued. That way the king would be happy, the monster would be contained and the people would be safe.
Daedulus brought his young son Icarus with him. He was sure the child would enjoy swimming and playing with the other children on the island. They were both happy they came, King Minos was happy with his maze and Daedalus was in no hurry to leave.
One day a group of Greek children sailed to the island, the next day they sailed safely away taking with them the King's lovely daughter and leaving behind them the dead minotaur. King Minos thought that Daedalus helped them but he didnt so the King punished him by locking him and his son in a tower.
Daedalus tried to think of ways to escape. One day he saw birds flying overhead and it gave him an idea of using homemade wings to escape so he made two sets of wings for him and his son. He glued them together with wax and told his son not to go to close to the sun or water or he'd die. His son agreed.
The two set off and were enjoyed flying and flew far away from Crete until Icarus got excited and flew higher and higher to the sun until it was too late and the wax melted. He plunged into the sea and drowned.
