architect, inventor and master craftsman in Greek Mythology. He created many objects that are prominent in various myths including the Labyrinth of the Minotaur at Knossos. Daedalus built wings for himself and son Icarus, fashioned with feathers held together with wax. Daedalus warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, because it would melt his wings. Icarus, exhilarated by the thrill of flying, grew careless. Flying too close to the sun god Helios, the wax holding his wings together melted and he fell to his death, drowning in the sea.
