Outlines
🛠 Crafting the Wings of Daedalus
In the first paragraph, Daedalus is depicted working on a secret project with materials like hot wax, string, sticks, and a large bag. His son, Icarus, watches curiously. Daedalus reveals his plan to escape from Crete by crafting wings, using a bird's feather as a demonstration of their design. He unveils a set of wings made from stick frames covered in feathers, which he attaches to his arms, demonstrating the ability to fly. Daedalus instructs Icarus on the importance of following his lead in making a pair of wings for the boy, emphasizing the necessity of a middle flight path to avoid the dangers of the sea and the sun's heat.
☀️ The Tragic Flight of Icarus
The second paragraph narrates the fateful flight of Daedalus and Icarus. Daedalus warns Icarus about the perils of flying too low, where the sea could engulf him, or too high, where the sun could melt the wax. Despite these warnings, Icarus, exhilarated by the freedom of flight, ascends too high. His father's calls go unheeded as Icarus ventures into the sun's reach, causing the wax to melt and feathers to fall. The wings fail, and Icarus plummets into the sea, meeting a tragic end. Daedalus, heartbroken, is left to continue his journey alone, and the sea where Icarus fell is forever named after him, the Icarian Sea.

some strange things they were stick
frames covered in feathers

Daedalus said Daedalus
one of the frames he tied it to his
right arm then he tied the other frame
to his left arm Icarus was suddenly
excited Oh

said and like a bird I will fly
Daedalus said Daedalus began to move his
arms like a bird
[Music]
soon he was flying above the island
Icarus could not believe his eyes
it seemed to be magic then Daedalus
returned to the ground we will use these
wings he said we will fly away from this
island now you must help me we must make
some wings for you
[Music]
so they began to make more wings they
tied together some sticks then they had
a frame they tied feathers to the frame
they used both short feathers and long
feathers the feathers were held with
string and wax finally the frame was
covered with feathers now they were
ready to escape from Crete Daedalus and
Icarus put on their wings Daedalus told
Icarus what to do
this is very important Daedalus said you
must take the middle path don't fly too
low if you do the waves of the ocean
will catch you then you will drown if
you fly too high the Sun will melt the
wax you will lose the large feathers if
that happens you will fall into the sea
and die I will take the middle path
father
Icarus said so they both began to move
their arms like birds and like birds
they began to fly
[Music]
soon they were over the scene they were
leaving crate and king-
flying felt wonderful to Icarus he soon
forgot his father's warning he began to
fly higher and higher he felt as free as
a bird
Daedalus looked up and saw his son
flying into danger he called to him
Icarus Icarus come down you are too high
it is dangerous but Icarus could not
hear him he was too far away
Icarus continued to go higher in the sky
the Sun began to melt the wax on his
wings
[Music]
at first one feather fell but interests
did not see it then other feathers fell
soon the wings would not support him
Icarus began to fall from the sky
[Music]
as he fell he called out to his father
[Music]
but there was nothing Daedalus could do
he could only watch his son fall into
the sea and drown
Daedalus could not stop flying he had to
continue on with a broken heart
and the see where Icarus died now has
his name today that C is called lead the
carrion sea
