Greek Play Reflection

The story of Icarus and Daedalus is about a very intelligent man named Daedalus who becomes imprisoned after upsetting the king. Daedalus and his son are locked up in a tower and they must try and find a way to escape. Daedalus discovers that he can build wings out of feathers, wax and thread and so he does and both he and Icarus fly away. During their flight Icarus flies too high and his wings burn so he falls into the sea and dies. Daedalus becomes upset and decides never to fly again.The moral of this story is that if you go too close or expose yourself to the sun you will burn yourself.
This story answers the life mystery of why people cannot make wings and fly. It is because Daedalus stopped creating wings and stopped flying. An important virtue to take away from this story is to always listen to your parents because they have wise words.
