Sinopsis:
Based on the story from Greek mythology about Daedalus, Greece’s greatest inventor, who kills his nephew Talos in a fit of jealousy and then takes flight with his son Icarus, wearing wings held together by wax. Icarus dies by flying too close to the sun, while Daedalus journeys to Sicily and King Minos, where he faces new perils.
One in this series of folk tales and legends based on Greek myths – presented as a follow-up to the earlier series «The Storyteller» – featuring fantasy characters from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. In this episode, the Storyteller recounts the tragic tale of the great inventor Daedalus and his beloved son, Icarus. When Daedalus, a gifted Athenian craftsman, accidentally kills his nephew, Talos, he and his son, Icarus, are forced to flee to Crete. King Minos of Crete summons Daedalus and orders him to build an impenetrable cage for the dreaded Minotaur – a creature that is half-man and half-beast, the offspring of an unwholesome alliance between Minos’ queen and a bull – and Daedalus constructs a diabolically twisted labyrinth to imprison the creature. In order to safeguard his secret, Minos traps Daedalus and Icarus in the maze with the Minotaur. Although they miraculously escape, they are unable to sail from the heavily guarded ports of the island, so Daedalus fashions wings out of feathers and wax so that he and Icarus can fly from Crete. Heedless of his father’s warnings, Icarus flies too close to the sun, melts the waxen wings, and plunges to his death into the sea. Daedalus eventually slays the cruel King Minos to avenge the death of his son, but the vengeance cannot compensate for his loss.
