Daedalus, a skilled inventor in Greek mythology, is best remembered for creating the labyrinth on the island of Crete. He was also known for his wisdom, knowledge, and power. Daedalus and his son, Icarus, were imprisoned on an island by King Minos. In an attempt to escape, Daedalus made wings attached with wax for himself and Icarus. However, Icarus ignored his father's warning and flew too close to the sun, causing his waxen wings to melt and resulting in his death. This story has been told for centuries and has become a cautionary tale known as "The Boy Who Flew Too Close to the Sun."
