SUMMARY
SUMMARY
Once upon a time on the island of Crete, maybe about
1325 BC, there was a king whose name was Minos (in the
story; this is only a story). He had living in his palace at
Knossos a great architect and inventor named Daedalus.
There are stories about Daedalus inventing all kinds of
things, but he is especially supposed to have built the
great Labyrinth for King Minos to keep the Minotaur in.
After Daedalus built the Labyrinth, though, King Minos did
not want him to be able to tell its secrets to anybody else,
and so he kept Daedalus a prisoner in a tall tower, all
alone with only his young son Icarus.
 Now Daedalus and Icarus did not like being
prisoners, and so Daedalus began to think about
how they could get away. He watched the birds flying
and he thought how free they were, and he decided
to make wings for himself and Icarus. Daedalus and
Icarus made the wings out of bird feathers and wax
and they tied them on to each other. Daedalus
warned his son to be careful when he was flying: if he
went too close to the sea, he might fall in, but if he
flew too high in the sky, the heat of the sun would
melt the wax on his wings and he would fall. Icarus
promised to be careful. So they set off for freedom.
 At first everything went well, but after a little
while Icarus got tired of just flying in a straight line.
He began to try to do tricks and go up and down. His
father told him to cut it out and behave himself, but
Icarus was having too much fun to listen, and he kept
on going up, higher and higher. Suddenly he realized
his wings really were melting! He tried to go back
down again, but it was too late. His wings came
apart, and he fell down, down, down into the ocean,
where he drowned. Icarus fell into the sea in the area
which bears his name, the Icarian Sea near Icaria, an
island.
