1
00:00:09,570 --> 00:00:12,550
Daedalus was a major architect and

2
00:00:12,550 --> 00:00:15,130
inventor renowned throughout Greece but

3
00:00:15,130 --> 00:00:17,140
that did not thought his and his son a

4
00:00:17,140 --> 00:00:19,180
Karissa's imprisonment in the labyrinth

5
00:00:19,180 --> 00:00:22,150
of King Minos in Crete facing the

6
00:00:22,150 --> 00:00:24,340
accusations of conspiring against the

7
00:00:24,340 --> 00:00:26,710
king and helped the hero Theseus defeat

8
00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:30,009
the Minotaur de leurs was accountable

9
00:00:30,009 --> 00:00:31,540
for the construction of the labyrinth

10
00:00:31,540 --> 00:00:34,750
and therefore he knew that an escape was

11
00:00:34,750 --> 00:00:37,360
unlikely and even if he managed to

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,850
escape the labyrinth Crete was patrolled

13
00:00:39,850 --> 00:00:43,469
by land and sea by the army of Minos

14
00:00:43,469 --> 00:00:45,969
after several days in prison the

15
00:00:45,969 --> 00:00:48,899
ingenious inventor had an exquisite idea

16
00:00:48,899 --> 00:00:52,030
he asked his son to collect pieces of

17
00:00:52,030 --> 00:00:54,100
wood while he drew the draft of his new

18
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:57,789
project Daedalus then edifies wooden

19
00:00:57,789 --> 00:01:00,850
frames that resemble bird wings after

20
00:01:00,850 --> 00:01:02,469
gathering a good amount of seabird

21
00:01:02,469 --> 00:01:04,360
feathers which flew over the labyrinth

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,760
he was able to finish his vention using

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,190
beeswax as glue

24
00:01:08,190 --> 00:01:11,320
he had built two pairs of enormous wings

25
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:14,340
one for him and the other for his son

26
00:01:14,340 --> 00:01:17,320
Daedalus wears his wings and notices

27
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:20,260
that his vention works perfectly Icarus

28
00:01:20,260 --> 00:01:22,120
is helped by his father to embody his

29
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,040
wings and get some advice from his

30
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,430
father son do not fly too low near the

31
00:01:27,430 --> 00:01:29,680
sea in order to avoid having the

32
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,330
dampness stiffening the frailes

33
00:01:31,330 --> 00:01:33,790
gearing's nor fly too high so that the

34
00:01:33,790 --> 00:01:36,490
Sun does not melt the beeswax stay close

35
00:01:36,490 --> 00:01:37,860
to me at all times

36
00:01:37,860 --> 00:01:40,900
then Daedalus and Icarus take off and

37
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:43,480
leave Crete behind they both struggle a

38
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,280
bit in the beginning having to face the

39
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,620
wind currents but they quickly mastered

40
00:01:47,620 --> 00:01:50,530
the whole flight the view from the sky

41
00:01:50,530 --> 00:01:51,820
was mesmerizing

42
00:01:51,820 --> 00:01:55,000
they were both in ecstasy when Daedalus

43
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,700
realizes Icarus was flying away from him

44
00:01:57,700 --> 00:01:59,830
and had a much higher altitude than his

45
00:01:59,830 --> 00:02:02,770
concern he yells at his son but the

46
00:02:02,770 --> 00:02:05,650
young boy could not hear him Icarus was

47
00:02:05,650 --> 00:02:07,630
dazzled with the flight and was flying

48
00:02:07,630 --> 00:02:10,179
with his eye closed piercing the clouds

49
00:02:10,179 --> 00:02:12,700
he was absolutely intoxicated with the

50
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:16,030
sensation of freedom the youngster was

51
00:02:16,030 --> 00:02:18,490
getting closer and closer to the Sun and

52
00:02:18,490 --> 00:02:21,040
suddenly he perceives that the sun's

53
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,500
heat was starting to melt the beeswax

54
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:25,390
which glued the feathers and the

55
00:02:25,390 --> 00:02:27,970
structure the wings together the feather

56
00:02:27,970 --> 00:02:30,580
started to fall and so Icarus began to

57
00:02:30,580 --> 00:02:34,120
lose control of the flight the wings

58
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,520
started to crumble the fall of Icarus

59
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,330
was now unavoidable he falls from heaven

60
00:02:40,330 --> 00:02:43,180
while his powerless father witnesses the

61
00:02:43,180 --> 00:02:46,600
fatal fall of his son Icarus violently

62
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,170
hits the ocean waters

63
00:02:49,170 --> 00:02:52,990
Daedalus flies to rescue his son but he

64
00:02:52,990 --> 00:02:55,960
only finds feathers in the sea after a

65
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,630
long search a Karissa's father finally

66
00:02:58,630 --> 00:03:01,420
finds the body of his son laying on a

67
00:03:01,420 --> 00:03:04,030
beach Daedalus regrets that his

68
00:03:04,030 --> 00:03:05,830
invention has been the cause of Icarus

69
00:03:05,830 --> 00:03:09,100
his death he buries his son and flies

70
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:10,500
towards Sicily
