Icarus and Daedalus.
A master craftsman from Athens, Daedalus was forced to flee the city after murdering his nephew, an artist of even greater skill. Settling in Crete, Daedalus created the wooden cow in which Pasiphaƫ, wife of King Minos, was impregnated by the Cretan bull. To contain her monstrous offspring, the Minotaur, Daedalus built the labyrinth. Furious at the assistance Daedalus had given to Pasiphaƫ, Minos imprisoned him and his son, Icarus, in the labyrinth. They managed to escape by flying away on wings that Daedalus fashioned from feathers and wax. Daedalus counseled his son to fly a middle course, neither too close to the water nor too near the sun, but Icarus soared so high that the heat of the sun melted the wax in his wings. He fell into the Aegean Sea and drowned. After burying his son on the island now called Ikaria, Daedalus flew on safely to Sicily.
