Daedalus (mythology)
In Greek mythology, a talented Athenian artisan. He made a wooden cow to disguise Pasiphae, wife of King Minos of Crete, when she wished to mate with a bull, and then constructed a Labyrinth to house the creature of their union, the Minotaur. Having incurred the displeasure of Minos, Daedalus fled from Crete with his son Icarus, using wings made from feathers fastened with wax.
Daedalus crossed the Aegean to safety, but his son flew too near the sun and fell into the sea.
