Answer:King Minos of Crete hires DaedalusDaedalus designed a Labyrinth to hold the Minotaur. King Minos commanded Daedalus and his son Icarus to designed a maze-like construction of Labyrinth, so that the monster be lost and couldn't escape from it.Daedalus invented wings made of feathers and wax to help himself and his son Icarus escape from the labyrinth.Before escaping, Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too low or the water would soak the feathers and not to fly too close to the sun or the heat would melt the wax. Icarus ignored Daedalus's instructions not to fly too close to the sun, causing the beeswax in his wings to melt.Icarus ignored Daedalus's instructions not to fly too close to the sun, causing the beeswax in his wings to melt. Icarus fell from the sky, plunged into the sea, and drowned. The myth gave rise to the idiom, "fly too close to the sun." In some versions of the tale, Daedalus and Icarus escape by ship.He also faced challenges such as being imprisoned on the island of Crete and having to devise a plan to escape. He used his intelligence and creativity to create wings for himself and his son, which allowed them to fly away from the island.While staying on the island may have provided safety from immediate danger, it would have also meant accepting a life of isolation and confinement. Daedalus and Icarus were seeking freedom and autonomy, which they believed they could only achieve by leaving the island.Daedalus is not responsible for his death. Hubris. Caused the fall of Icarus. He was so prideful and arrogant that he believed nothing could affect his wings and so he flew up high, ignoring his father's advice but as he got closer to the sun, the heat began to melt the wax of the wings and he plummeted to his death.
