Once upon a time there lived a famous king, name the King of Crete. He had a step son which was half bull and half man.
He ordered Daedalus, a craftsman from Athens, to build a labyrinth in order to house the monster. When Daedalus finished his work, he wanted to leave Crete. But the king would not let him go.
Daedalus finally escaped throught the air by using wings fixed to his body with wax. He also made wings for his son, Icarus and made him fly behind himseft.
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.
The sea now called the Icarian Sea.
