Daedalus and his son Icarus were prisoners on the island of Crete. From the little window of their lonely tower they could see the blue ocean and watch the gulls and eagles sweep back and forth over the island. Sometimes a ship sailed out toward other lands. Seeing this, Daedalus and Icarus would long for freedom and wish they might sail away and never see the island of Crete again. Daedalus was famous Greek artist. He had designed the building where they were held prisoners. It was the famous Labyrinth, a winging maze of crisscross passages. Daedalus had designed it at the command of King Minos of Crete. When the Labyrinth was finished, the king was delighted. But he was afraid that someone might learn the secret of the maze; so he imprisoned Daedalus and Icarus in the tower.
