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 stepson which was
half bull and half man. He ordered Daedalus, a craftsman from Athens Crete . But the king would not let him go.
Daedalus finally 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 Icarian
