Question

Personal challenges of Daedalus and icarus?

Answer 1

Daedalus' own hurdle was his lack of strength to handle his unexceptional expertise when it comes to architecture and executing things correctly. He endangered his and his son's life in courtesy of his invented wings made of twine, feathers, and wax. In contempt of having doubts before he started their course, he still valued his ego and excitement over their safety that led to Icarus' death.

On the other hand, Icarus' own tests were his unbridled sentiments that naturally come out because he is a young man. When they were up in the air and the people on the ground we're staring at them with surprise, he started to be too gratified, too eager and too naive. All of these drove him to his own death after defying his father's advice to him previously.

Further Explanation :

Daedalus and Icarus are a duo of father-son relationship who after leaving Athens, live in the Island of Crete. They get acquaintances with King Minos who was the Island’s ruler. Daedalus builds many things for him like an invention of the cow suit for the Crete’s queen so that she can unite with a bull which results in a horrible half-man and half-beast called the Minotaur. King Minos asks Daedalus to build a labyrinth for the Minotaur, but even the beast had put some conditions to live in there like a human sacrifice, so the King gives seven young women and men every nine years to Minotaur.  

One of the victims was a hero Theseus, who decides to fight the beast and he is helped by Daedalus for the King’s daughter who was in love with the Theseus. Daedalus gives him the road map to escape out after Theseus kills the Minotaur, and the lovers later eloped the island. On finding out that Daedalus had helped them; the king locks him and Icarus both in the labyrinth. But the genius craftsman didn’t give up even after knowing that the Crete Island is surrounded by the army of King Minos. So he decided to escape by air. Daedalus builds large wax wings for himself and his son. He tested the wings on Icarus and warned him to stay away from the seawater and sun heat. Icarcus had followed his father’s instruction first but later he moves too near to the sun and eventually melts his wings that caused him to come down in speed and falling into the sea. The helpless father tried to save his son but it was too late and Icarus had already died. But Daedalus anyway flew towards the Italian Island of Sicily and mourns his son’s death by building a temple to Apollo.
