The legent of Daidalus
Daedalus is a figure from Greek mythology famous
for his clever inventions and as the architect of the Minotaur’s labyrinth on Crete. He is also the father of Icarus who flew too close
to the sun on his artificial wings and so drowned in the Mediterranean.
By the Roman period, Daedalus had acquired a long string of
accomplishments and he came to represent, in general, the supreme master
craftsman. The myths of Daedalus appear in the works of such noted writers as Homer,
Herodotus, Ovid, and Virgil.
