A.

In the Palace - After being banished from his homeland, Daedalus fled to the island of Crete, where he began to work at the court of King Minos and Queen
Pasiphae, in the magnificent palace of Knossos. He was the first to conceive masts and sails for ships for the navy of Minos, helping Crete become a naval power.
When the dreadful Minotaur was born, Daedalus built the Labyrinth to contain the monstrous half-man, half-bull. Eventually, the Athenian hero Theseus came to
Crete to attempt to slay the Minotaur. Princess Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos and Queen Pasiphae, fell in love with Theseus and asked Daedalus to help
him.

B. In the Prison - Enraged at the loss of his daughter and the killing of his pet Minotaur, he shut Daedalus and his son Icarus into the Labyrinth, since it is
impossible for Theseus to succeed without inside help. However, Daedalus managed to escape from the Labyrinth, after all, he built it and he knew his way
around.

C. Icarus in the Sea - Daedalus decided that they have to escape Minos, leave Crete to avoid harm. But since Minos controlled the land and sea routes, air being
the only way out. But only gods can fly. So, he built himself and Icarus a pair of humongous wings made out of feathers held together by wax. He sternly warns
Icarus not to fly too close to the sun or the sea as it would damage his wings. They successfully passed 3 islands without a problem, but the farther they got from
Crete, Icarus became cocky as he felt exhilarated because of the thought of flying. He forgot about his father’s stern warnings. He flew too close to the sun and it
caused for the wax in his wings to melt, leading him to falling into the ocean as Daedalus helplessly watched his son perish with anguish.

D. Sicily - After grieving for his dead son, Daedalus continued to Sicily, where he stayed at Camicus at the court of Cocalus. Vengeful, King Minos went in pursuit of
Daedalus, hoping to locate and trick the great inventor into revealing himself. Minos offered a reward to whoever could successfully complete the seemingly
impossible task he gave in each city he visited. Until he came to Camicus in Sicily and presented the contest at Cocalus’s court. Since Cocalus knew about
Daedalus’s talents, he gave the shell to him, and Daedalus succeeded. When Minos saw that someone had solved the puzzle, he demanded that Cocalus
surrender Daedalus, for he knew that only he would’ve been inventive enough to solve the task. King Cocalus then promised to do so, but he persuaded Minos to
first take a bath and stay for some entertainment. Minos agreed, and was consequently murdered by Cocalus’s daughters, who had been totally impressed by the
toys and gifts which Daedalus had bestowed upon them.
