Mythology
Daedalus

|
Daedalus, a human, is
very cautious because of the following examples. First of all, King Minos
imprisoned Daedalus. When Icarus, DaedalusŐs son, stated to him that they should
try to escape from the island, Daedalus refused. Since the king kept strict
watch over all the vessels that left the island by sea, he thought that it wass
way too risky. Another supporting example was when Daedalus handed over the
wings he had crafted over to Icarus and told him to stay right by him in the
air and to not fly too high or too low. He warned his son because if they
floated too low, then the spray would wet the wings, and if they soared too
high, then the sun would melt the wings. In conclusion, Daedalus is a careful
human. |
