ICARUS AND DAEDALUS
Adapted by Josephine Preston Peabody (Written by Ovid)
 
DIRECTIONS: Read the following story aloud in groups and answer the questions as you go.
 
Partner A: Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned the secrets of the gods, none was more cunning than Daedalus.
He once built, for King Minos of Crete, a wonderful Labyrinth 1 of winding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around that, once inside, you could never find your way out again without a magic clue. But the king's favor2 veered with the wind, and one day he had his master architect imprisoned in a tower. Daedalus managed to escape from his cell; but it seemed impossible to leave the island, since every ship that came or went was well guarded by order of the king.
 
1. Based on the above paragraph, what can be inferred about Daedalus?
