ruler of the island Crete and he has to hightail it out of there. Desperate to flee
the island, Daedalus uses wax to build some wings for himself and his son
Icarus. Daedalus warns his son to fly at a middle height, the seawater will
dampen the wings and the sun will melt them. Icarus heeds his father's advice for
a bit, but then he gets cocky. He's having so much fun flying that he forgets the
warning and flies too close to the sun. Sure enough, his wings melt and Icarus
plummets into the sea and drowns. Daedalus is devastated by his son's death,
but the show must go on. He flies on to Sicily, where he mourns Icarus and builds
a temple in honor of the God Apollo.

and Icarus.
● RISING ACTION - King Minos hires Daedalus, an inventor and craftsman, to
build a Labyrinth. Daedalus does not know the real reason behind King Mino's
decision to build it. After the Labyrinth is built and Daedalus finds out how the
Labyrinth will be used, he is imprisoned, along with his son Icarus, in the
Labyrinth. Daedalus and Icarus manage to escape from the Labyrinth and make
their way to the shore of the island.
● CLIMAX - Icarus is too excited with the feeling of flying and soared upward to the
sun. His wings begin to melt and fall from the sky. Icarus dies.
● FALLING ACTION - Daedalus is helpless and devastated since he cannot help
his son. He continues flying onward until he reaches the nearest island which he
names Icaria in memory of Icarus.

Apollo (the God of the Sun). He hung up his wings and never flew again.
