Question

The island of Crete lies to the south of Greece. It was ruled by King Minos, whose son was a monster, called

Minotaur. In those days, there lived in Greece a man called Daedalus, a great builder, who was sent as a punishment

into exile from Greece to Crete together with his son, Icarus. King Minos asked him to build an underground prison

so strong that nobody could escape from it. Daedalus set to work. Undeneath the palace of King Minos, he made a

labyrinth.

Once a brave young Greek hero called, Theseus entered the labyrinth, placed a ball of thread at the entrance to the

labyrinth, and unwound it as he went down the long, dark passages in search of Minotaur. At last he found him, and

after a long struggle, killed him. By following the thread, he was able to find his way out of the labyrinth again.

When King Minos heard that Minotaur was dead, he called Daedalus and said, “Because you failed to make a prison

from which nobody could escape, you and your son will be shut inside the labyrinth.” Daedalus and Icarus were

thrown into the labyrinth. Like Theseus they marked their way with a thread. In the cave, Daedalus selected some

bird feathers and stuck them together with wax, and made two beautiful pairs of wings one for himself, and one for

Icarus.

Carrying their wings with them, Daedalus and Icarus found their way out of the labyrinth into the bright sunshine.

They went to a hill near the deep, blue sea. Daedalus fixed a pair of wings on Icarus’ arms and asked him to fly. He

cautioned his son to stay fairly above water and not go too near to the sun.

Icarus skimmed low over the water. Then ignoring his father’s warnings, he flew up, and soared high in the sky like

an eagle, The island of Create lay far below him, like a tiny dot in the sparkling sea. Higher and higher he flew, nearer

and nearer to the sun rejoicing in its warmth. The wax on his wings began to melt. The feathers became loose. At

first he did not notice, but suddenly he lost his balance. Icarus beat his arms up and down in fear – but the

depreciated wings could no longer bear him. He plunged down headlong through the air, and crashed into the sea.

The sea in which Icarus drowned is to this day called the Icarus Sea.​
