Daedalus invented wings made of feathers and wax to help himself and his son Icarus escape from the Labyrinth. He crafted the wings to allow them to fly away from their imprisonment by King Minos. Daedalus instructed Icarus to fly at a moderate height, avoiding both the sea's dampness and the sun's heat, which ultimately led to Icarus's tragic downfall when he flew too close to the sun, causing the wax to melt.
