Daedalus and Icarus- Daedalus and Icarus were son and father who were trapped on an island. Daedalus built the wings of feathers and wax to escape. Icarus flew too close to the sun so his wings melted and he fell to the ocean

Theseus's girlfriend was sad because she knew he was going to die. he told her that it would be alright. Theseus took a spool of yarn with him. He entered the maze and let the string fall on the ground as he walked. finally he found the minotaur and was able to slay it. Then he found his way out by simply following the string back to the entrance.
THE END

Answer 3

Daedalus and Icarus goes like this--the two of them were trapped in a tower so Daedalus made wings so he and his son, Icarus could fly out. Daedalus told Icarus not to fly too high, or the wax on the wings would melt. But, Icarus disobeyed his father and went too high. So, the wax melted and he fell to his death.

Theseus and Minotaur goes like this--Theseus had a beautiful daughter who was to be married and so he went out to find a husband. He met Minotaur and thought he was perfect. Well, Theseus's Daughter did not love Minotaur. So she ran away from home to avoid marrying him. Where she went to, she met a different man, and they fell madly in love, but then, a few years later, she remembered her poor father and Minotaur, so she left her husband to find him. On her way back, her carriage was over-turned and she died.
The moral: do not disobey your parent(s) and do not leave your husband/wife without them knowing.

Answer 4

Dustpan, please don't give false information here lol

Icarus is actually the son of dadealus, and icarus fell

The story goes as such, abridged.

The king of the place where the minotaur hired dadealus, a great thinkre and scientist, to build the labirinth where the king kept the minotaur.

Theseus I believe was the wone to go into the labirinth and slay the minotaur.

The king, however after the laberinth was built didn't want to let Dadealus free. So he locked him up in a tower.

Dadealus with his thinking power decided it was a good idea to build some wings with feathers and wax and fly away from captivity.

before he and his son, Icarus left, dadealus told his son, "be carefull son, cause if u be a fool and fly to high, the sun will melt the wax and trhe wings will fall apart"

"ok dad" said young Icvarus, and like most foolish sons, didn't listen to a word his daddy said, and flew to high.

And low and behold, the melted the wax and his wings fell apart and he plunged to hs death in the sea. lol

Actually flying high would freeze the wings but the greeks didn't know that,

Any way, the moral of the story is listen to ur father cause he knows his shiit

That is a true story, not Dustpans messed version.

Believe me, in the school I wnet to as a kid, they taught as all the myths, not just the history of war like they do in the public system,

:P

Answer 5

Daedalus was a most skillful artificer and was even said to have first invented images. He is first mentioned in Homer, where he built for Ariadne a wide dancing-ground (Iliad xviii.591). Homer still calls her by her Cretan title, the "Lady of the Labyrinth" (Iliad xviii.96), which Daedalus had also made, in which the Minotaur was kept and from which Theseus escaped by means of the thread clue of Ariadne. Ignoring Homer, later writers envisaged the labyrinth as an edifice, rather than a single path to the center and out again, and gave it numberless winding passages and turns that opened into one another, seeming to have neither beginning nor end (see labyrinth). Daedalus built it for King Minos, who needed the labyrinth to imprison his wife's son, Asterion, the Minotaur. For Minos' wife, Pasiphae, Daedalus built a wooden cow so she could mate with the bull, for the Greeks imagined the Minoan bull of the sun to be an actual, earthly bull.

for the rest of the characters look it up on wikipedia.

Answer 6

Mythweb.com has a semi-antimated story of Theseus. Daedalus was locked in a high tower, so to fly out, he built wings made of wax for him and his son, Icarus. But once in the sky, Icarus disobeyed his father's orders flew too close to the sun, causing his wings to melt. Then he fell into the sea and died. A very happy story, I know.

Answer 7

well i just translated ovid's daedalus and icarus into english a few weeks ago, so- in the story daedalus and his son icarus (mostly daedalus) make wings out of beeswax and seagull feathers to escape off this island they're imprisoned on. but icarus was playing with the wings right before takeoff and he softened the wax on his pair of wings. so when the two of them re flying, daedalus warns icarus not to go too high cuz the sun might melt his wings but not to go too low cuz the water will weigh them down. but icarus is hella dumb so he flies to high and the wax melts and he dies and daedalus is all sad cuz his kid is dead.

Answer 8

the first pair you mentioned was a father and son aviation company in greece or that region why back when. they built some big bird-like wings out of feathers and wax and i think daedalus did a base jump off a cliff and soared. He went up so high the sun melted the wax and he took a nose dive and died.
theseus was pissed off the king who threw him into a hube labyrinth with the bull-freak-monster and they got it on. min's are half man and half bull and kinda stupid i guess cause theseis came through like a champ. he zapped that bad boy.

Answer 9

I accept as true with all and diverse who stated, "I awoke ..." I also hate: "It became my first day at a clean college ..." This sentence is in many cases signifies that the tale will be about an insecure, clumsy undeniable female is apprehensive about her first day at school, yet is quickly befriended by technique of the most time-honored/coolest/maximum well-loved boy in her type, who falls in love jointly with her at first sight, because of her supposedly "dynamic" personality. each of the advise, time-honored women are jealous. They female and/or boy can actually have some type of paranormal power. different undesirable establishing sentences: - "for see you later as i might want to undergo in ideas my mothers and fathers had kept a secret from me ..." - "To [woman personality] and [male personality] there became no longer something more effective major than love ..." - "no you may ever tell me why ..." - "It began out akin to the different day ..." And something else the position the author is making an attempt to sound profound yet manages to fail miserably.
