In Greek mythology, Daedalus was a famous inventor, sculptor and architect.

He was originally from [[Athens]] but became jealous of his nephew and pupil Talos who managed to saw a thin stick with the jawbone of a snake. Daedalus threw him down from the Acropolis but his corpse was discovered and Daedalus was condemned to exile. He was welcomed by [[Minos]] into his court in [[Crete]] where he among other things constructed a wooden cow for Queen Pasiphae and a labyrinth where Minos imprisoned the [[Minotaur]]. After Daedalus helped Theseus kill the Minotaur, Minos imprisoned him and his son Icarus inside the labyrinth. Daedalus constructed wings for himself and his son and they flew away from Crete but Icarus flew too high causing the wax in his wings to melt and he fell into the sea. Daedalus managed to reach Camicus in [[Sicily]] and was received into the court of King Cocalus.
