He flees there after he is sentenced to death in Athens
Explanation:
Daedalus was a much-admired builder in Athens, but he fell out of favor after murdering a man named Talo. As a punishment for his crime, he was sentenced to death, but he had a strong friendship with the king of Crete and fled there as his son, to remain in hiding in safety. In Crete, he built the minotaur's labyrinth, but the labyrinth was so perfect that he couldn't find the exit.
