After the people of Crete plead with King Minos to kill the creature, he decides not to kill it but instead plans to use the Minotaur to kill his enemies.

Rising Action: 

King Minos hires Daedalus, an inventor and craftsman, to build a labyrinth.  Daedalus does not know the real reason behind King Minos’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. 

Daedalus thinks of a plan to escape: make wings so that he and his son could fly away from the island. 

He teaches Icarus how to fly once the wings are made and explains to him that he should not fly too close to the sun
