learned this one frm english class so So it all begins wif dedalus a skilled builder(youll see wat i mean) i think kills this boy and escapes to crete i believe and he works for the king and queen but was close to queen and was her friend and would make her anything she want frm jewlery and all etc but one day while they were talking she insulted Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty and known for her punishments to those who r more fair than her or insult her so the King(mino)was known for his love of white bulls(his mother was turned into one by Zeus and turned back dif story)so Aphrodite makes the queen fall in love with Mino's new beautiful white bull so she does and she confides in Dedalus and he makes her a lovely bull outfit at night she meets the beautiful white bull and at nght on the grass and thinkin shes a pretty little brown cow the bull makes love with her, she later becomes pregnant and Mino finds out he goes to Dedalus and requests he makes a labrynth to keep the queen and her baby in so he builds it and since he knos bout it it was either he gets locked in a tower or in the labrynth but i thinks its the second one so him and his son Icarus(they never say how he gets this son) are trapped in there wif the queen who has to control the wild Minotaur(meaning Mino's bull) so Dedalus plans an escape each day he sets out food for the birds and requests a feather frm each of them and once he gets enuf he builds 2 sets of wings by sticking the wings together with the candle wax. so wen the times has come he tells his son Icarus to follow him and dnt go too close to the sun, so they fly and fly and ppl point and gasp and they fly but Icarus lets it go to his head and sees the birds he says he cn go higher than the birds so he flies hgher he sees the clouds and says he cn go higher thn them so he flies hgher suddenly he sees the sun and proclaims that he cn absolutely go higher thn the sun as he raises higher his arms start to get sticky...the wax was melting! he started panicking as they feathers start falling off and suddenly he starts plumeting towards the ocean Dedalus quickly tried to save his son but it was too late, he had drowned all tht was left of him was a few waxy feathers
