daedalus

Actually his dad, Daedalus, explained to him that you don't fly close to the sun.

They were escaping together using wings that Daedalus had made, and the wings were held together with wax.

But Daedalus was still a genius inventor.

As punishment, Daedalus was forced to construct an inescapable labyrinth beneath the palace for the minotaur.

Daedalus constructed two pairs of giant wings.

Daedalus constructed a hollow wooden cow so realistic that it fooled the bull.

This picture is from 1919 of the crew of the HMS Daedalus during World War I at their training facility.

Such was the case for Icarus and Daedalus.

Icarus, the son of Daedalus, defied the laws of both man and nature.

This, of course, enraged the king who blamed Daedalus for enabling such a horrible perversion of natural law.
