Dedalus and Icarus, A Shattered Dream (S01E17)
S01E17
Dedalus, a renowned inventor from Greece, took up residence in the court of King Minos in Crete. There, Queen Pasiphaë, driven by an overwhelming desire for a magnificent white bull, sought his expertise. Dedalus ingeniously devised a means for her to mate with the creature, but this act of betrayal led to him and his son, Icarus, being imprisoned by Minos. In his quest for freedom, Dedalus crafted an escape plan that inadvertently placed Icarus's life in grave danger.
