NOTES ON DAEDALUS (ENGLISH)

Daedalus And Icarus

Daedalus was trying to build something (not specified by the presenter) but he couldn’t figure out the last piece, his nephew did; so Daedalus killed him by throwing him down from the Acropolis in Athens. Once his nephew death got out in the public there was suspicion on Daedalus, causing him to move. Later, the king gave him a workshop (since he was a inventor…) but the Queen was disdaining Athena by cursing her out; so Athena got a bull that was beautiful (a bull with a human face) which the Queen had kids with. The king wanted to keep this in private, so he sent Daedalus to create a maze in which is impossible to every leave. (the only person who knew was king Minos) After they were trapped (Daedalus and his son Icarus) They decided to make wings out of wax to escape. Daedalus warned Icarus to not fly to close to the son, but Icarus grew curious and flew higher while his father was asleep. The wings were burning causing him to go down, into the ocean, then drowning to death.

Central Idea

Karma comes back.

for the queen - don't talk trash…

don’t let curiosity win.


He was cursed because he killed his own nephew, making him feel the same pain of his brothers loss. (HIS OWN SON!)
