The Wings of Icarus

      Once upon a time on the island of Crete, there was a king whose name was Minos. He hired an inventor and architiect named Daedalos to work for him.

     There are stories about Daedalos inventing all kinds of things, but he is especially supposed to have built the great Labyrinth for King Minos to keep the Minotaur in. After Daedalos built the Labyrinth, though, King Minos did not want him to be able to tell its secrets to anybody else, and so he kept Daedalos a prisoner in a tall tower, with only his young son Icarus.
