EPISODE 13: DAEDALUS AND ICARUS
Daedalus, the greatest inventor of the ancient world, designed sailing ships, the wheel, the loom and the plow. But though he was a man of great talent, he was also an ambitious man who sought fame and fortune above all this. His son, Icarus, idolized his father and followed in his shoes, becoming just as talented and just as much of a glory seeker. Blinded by his ambition, Daedalus fails to honor his promises to the goddess, Athena, who helped the inventor become successful. In punishment, the goddess causes the great museum that Daedalus built to crumble to the ground, accidentally killing Talos, Daedalus’ apprentice. Blamed for the boy’s death, Daedalus is imprisoned. But Icarus helps his father escape to Crete where they hope to once again be appreciated for their talent. King Minos of Crete offers Daedalus and Icarus fame and glory like never before, but in return he demands that the great inventor build him weapons of war. Giving in to temptation, Daedalus agrees, only to see his incredible weapons used to defeat the Athenians, and his labyrinth (the inescapable underground maze) used to imprison them. All this violence against Daedalus’ own people causes great regret in the inventor, but when he voices this to Minos, he and Icarus are imprisoned in the very labyrinth they built. Desperate to escape, father and son make two pairs of wings from the feathers of birds. But though Daedalus has learned his lesson about the pitfalls of fame and glory, Icarus has not. Determined to fly higher than the gods, Icarus fails to heed his father’s warning to not fly too close to the sun. The wax holding together Icarus’ wings melts away and the boy falls into the sea.

yo... i seen this in 6th grade and been looking for this for a while

[@ashidraws2621]

No because same

[@iagoluiz8467]

Just me saying that, maybe. But it was not just the Sun's heat melting the wings which killed Icarus. His overconfidence also did that.

[@ronaldbrooks3748]

Never fly high nor low. Balance is the key.

[@patriciomendez9240]

This is awesome!!!! No cap.

“Icarus no! Come back! We must grab the Crystal Coconut!”
No really. That’s K. Rool voicing Daedalus.

Gracias. Este capitulo lo vi cuando tenía seis años. Nunca olvidé la muerte de Icaro.

[@mississippimillionaire3790]

Dedalus, his son and King Minos have all GOT to be a LEOS! Totally self-centered.. self-absorbed.

[@deathblade9121]

Nice

[@Content4free78]

i think the myth of Daedalus & icarus was before Theseus came to crete to slay the Monstrous Minotaur, cuz both of them were locked within the labyrinth with the beast

[@iagoluiz8467]

That is true. Also, that same tyrant Minos. He very likely died in the end of Theseus's tale.

[@phousefilms]

Truth. Some stories have Daedalus as the cause of the Minotaur(with Queen Pasiphae convincing Daedalus to create a mechanical cow statue for her to climb inside so the bull would mate with her, making her histories first furry). Usually, Daedalus and Icarus are imprisoned, either to keep the labyrinths secrets forever or because Theseus escaped the Labyrinth, which was supposed to be impossible.

[@knytewing3107]

That’s when I found out about Icarus 17 years ago
