Daedalus, a
human character from Greek Mythology, is very clever. In the white city of
Athens, Daedalus invvented tools, such as the wheel, the plough, and the loom,
for a living. This helped make peopleÕs lives easier and easier and everyone
praised DaedalusÕ ability to create helpful tools. However, Daedalus murdered
his nephew, Talos, because he was envious of his creation of the saw. Because
of this, King Minos jailed him and then ordered him to create something to
confine the Minotaur, a monster
that was half human and half buffalo. Thus, Daedalus created a complex
labyrinth to hold the monster. Only someone as smart as Daedalus could have
thought of the maze. Therefore, Daedalus was truly one of the greatest
inventor to have ever lived. |
