Question 1
Daedalus used to work as an artisan in Athens, together with a skillful apprentice named Talus. In a moment of rage and jealousy, Daedalus pushed Talus off
the rock of the Acropolis but was unable to kill him. Goddess Athena turned the apprentice into a bird and Daedalus, charged with murder, was forced to
seek refuge on Crete.

Once on the island of the Minotaur, Dedalus started a new life working in the palace of King Minos. He married Naucrate, a slave, who gave birth to Icarus.

Under King Minos’ orders, Daedalus was asked to build a space able to contain the Minotaur. But instead of coming up with a prison cell, Dedalous decided
that a complex labyrinth would be the best place to hide the monster. It was such a perfect construction that those entering the maze were never able to
leave.

However, the existence of a Minotaur was secret to most of the inhabitants of the island and wanting the monster to remain so, the king locked up Daedalus
and his family so that the secret would never be revealed.

Cunningly, Dedalus elaborated an idea to escape that did not require going through land or sea. The only possible way that they could leave the island would
have been to be able to fly. Thus, Dedalus started gathering feathers from birds which later transformed into wings stuck together with wax. One pair of
wings was going to be for him and the other for Icarus, his son.

When the moment to escape arrived, Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, but he did not listen to his father and fell into the sea when, after
getting to close to the sun, the wax in his wings melted and fell apart. Icarus fell into the water and turned into an island in the Aegean Sea.

another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey. 16 Immediately the one who had received the five talents

went and traded with them, and gained five more talents. 17 In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more. 18 But he who

received the one talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his [b]master’s money.

19 “Now after a long time the master of those slaves *came and *settled accounts with them. 20 The one who had received the five talents came up and

brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good

and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your [c]master.’

22 “Also the one who had received the two talents came up and said, ‘Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more talents.’ 23 His

master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your

master.’

where you scattered no seed. 25 And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’

26 “But his master answered and said to him, ‘You wicked, lazy slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered

no seed. 27 Then you ought to have put my money [d]in the bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest. 28 Therefore take

away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.’

29 “For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be

taken away. 30 Throw out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
