- RISING ACTION
- Daedalus, an architect, was hired to build a maze by King Minos. He is the imprisoned by the king and wants to escape off the island with his son.
- CLIMAX
- Although Deadalus can easily escape the tower, he and his son are still stranded on an island miles away from their home. Daedalus must devise a way to cross the ocean.
- FALLING ACTION
- Daedalus thought of a plan; he would make wings so he and his son, Icarus, could fly away, so he made two pair of wings from wax and bird feathers. Daedalus warned his son. He told him to not fly too close to the sun or the wings would melt.
- RESOLUTION
- When it was time for them to take off, Daedalus went ahead of Icarus. Icarus was excited by the feeling of flight, so he opened his wings and soared upward towards the sun.
- Soon Icarus's wings began to melt and he started falling down towards the vast sea. Daedalus noticed his son was nowhere to be found so he went back in search. Below him he saw the feathers of his son's wings floating in the water. He knew Icarus had drowned.
- An island nearby was named Icaria, in memory of Icarus. Daedalus went to the temple of Apollo in Sicily and hung up his wings as an offering. Daedalus never flew again.
