The Legend of Minos, King of
Crete
Once upon a time there lived a
very famous king named the King of Crete. He had a monster which was half
bull and half man.
He ordered Daedalus, a craftsman
from Athens to build a labyrinth in order to house the monster. When Daedalus
finished his work, he wanted to leave Crete. But the King would no let him
ago.
Daedalus escaped through the air
by using wings fixed to his body with wax. He also made wings for his son,
Icarus and made him fly behind himself.
But the son was so glad and
excited that he soon went too high. As he flew nearer to the sun, it got
warmer and warmer until at last the wax melted and his body fell down into
the sea near Troy.
The sea is now called the Icarian
Sea.
