is this sentence correct?

Question

Deadalus comes up with a brilliant idea of collecting featheres of all shapes and sizes and and creating wings(would there be a comma here?) held together by wax.

Answer 1

Yes, there should be a comma (and feathers does not have an "e" after the "r").

Answer 2

well there are two ands after sizes and the sentence would sound better if you said came up with a brilliant idea....unless you have to be present tense. No comma. Oh and featheres is wrong...it's feathers. The reason there is no comma is because you wouldn't pause and say....Daedalus came up with a brilliant idea of...creating wings (pause) held together by wax. Say it out loud, it sounds funny. It would be better if you said: Daedalus came up with a brilliant idea of collecting feathers of all shapes and sizes FOR creating wings held together by wax.

Answer 3

The words "comes up with" are unnecessary and you misspelled Daedalus and feathers (use your spell check).

Daedalus had the brilliant idea to collect feathers of all shapes and sizes and create wings held together by wax.

NO COMMA.

Answer 4

I think your sentence should be, "Daedalus came up with the brilliant idea of gathering feathers of all shapes and sizes; using wax to hold them together, he fashioned (made) them into wings."

Your original sentence had Daedalus and feathers misspelled. If you want to keep it as it was with the spelling corrected, there does not need to be a comma after wings.
