In a Greek legend, Icarus and his father Daedalus built wings of feathers and wax and flew out of a prison.

Ovid, in his Metamorphoses, suggests that Daedalus constructed the Labyrinth so cunningly that he himself could barely escape it after he built it.

For Pasiphaë, as Greek mythologers interpreted it, Daedalus also built a wooden cow so she could mate with the bull, for the Greeks imagined the Minoan bull of the sun to be an actual, earthly bull, Daedalus was so envious of his nephew's accomplishments that he took an opportunity.

Further to the west, Daedalus arrived safely in Sicily, in the care of King Cocalus of Kamikos on the island's south coast ; there he built a temple to Apollo, and hung up his wings, an offering to the god.

In the Canadian-American military science fiction series Stargate SG-1 and later in the series Stargate Atlantis, Daedalus is the name for the second interstellar and first intergalactic spaceship built by Homeworld Security.

In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth ( Greek λαβύρινθος labyrinthos, possibly the building complex at Knossos ) was an elaborate structure designed and built by the legendary artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos.

Daedalus had made the Labyrinth so cunningly that he himself could barely escape it after he built it.

Daedalus built her a wooden cow, which she hid inside.

Daedalus then built a complicated " chamber that with its tangled windings perplexed the outward way " called the Labyrinth, and Minos put the Minotaur in it.

Homer keeps in memory the dancing floor which Daedalus built for Ariadne in the remote past.

Daedalus also built a dancing floor for Queen Ariadne.

Icarus's father Daedalus, a talented and remarkable Athenian craftsman, built the Labyrinth for King Minos of Crete near his palace at Knossos to imprison the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull monster born of his wife and the Cretan bull.

Both Orion type thermonuclear pulse drive starships, and Daedalus type thermonuclear pulse drive starships could be built and launched towards nearby stars within a 10 light-year radius of the solar system later in the 21st century, if there is sufficient funding and political will to do this.

But Daedalus escaped, and built a pair of wings for himself and Icarus to escape Crete after he killed a vulture.

The animistic idea as the representation of the imaginative reality, is sanctified in the Homeric poems and in Greek myths, in stories of the god Hephaestus ( Phaistos ) and the mythic Daedalus ( the builder of the labyrinth ) that made images which moved of their own accord.

Pliny the Elder's Natural History ( 36. 90 ) lists the legendary Smilis, reputed to be a contemporary of Daedalus, together with the historical mid-sixth-century BC architects and sculptors Rhoikos and Theodoros as two of the makers of the Lemnian labyrinth, which Andrew Stewart regards as " evidently a misunderstanding of the Samian temple's location en limnais the marsh '.

In modern imagery, the labyrinth of Daedalus is often represented by a multicursal maze, in which one may become lost.

In Rick Riordan's series Percy Jackson & the Olympians, the events of the fourth novel The Battle of the Labyrinth predominantly take place within the labyrinth of Daedalus, which has followed the heart of the West to settle beneath the United States.

Minos, after getting advice from the oracle at Delphi, had Daedalus construct a gigantic labyrinth to hold the Minotaur.

Every year ( or every nine years in some sources ) he made King Aegeus pick seven young boys and seven young girls to be sent to Daedalus ' creation, the labyrinth, to be eaten by the Minotaur.

Minos himself is said to have died at Camicus in Sicily, whither he had gone in pursuit of Daedalus, who had given Ariadne the clue by which she guided Theseus through the labyrinth.

Minos then asked Athens to send seven boys and seven girls to Crete every nine years to be sacrificed to the Minotaur, the offspring from the zoophilic encounter of Minos ' wife Pasiphae with a certain bull that the king refused to sacrifice to Poseidon, which he had placed within a labyrinth he commanded his architect Daedalus to build.

Perhaps the closest figure in Western mythology to the modern mad scientist was Daedalus, creator of the labyrinth, who was then imprisoned by King Minos.

Daedalus construct a labyrinth in which to retain his son, the Minotaur.

Minos imprisoned Daedalus himself in the labyrinth because he gave Minos ' daughter, Ariadne, a clew ( or ball of string ) in order to help Theseus, the enemy of Minos, to survive the Labyrinth and defeat the Minotaur.

In Greek mythology, Daedalus is an architect and inventor who becomes trapped in a labyrinth of his own construction.

Mirroring his mythological namesake, Daedalus ( or Daidalos in the Greek pronunciation and transliteration ), whom Ovid described in the Metamorphoses ( VIII: 183-235 ) as being shut up in a tower to prevent his knowledge of the labyrinth from spreading to the public, Stephen is introduced taking breakfast in the Sandycove Martello tower in Dublin on the morning of 16 June 1904.

Cruel King Minos of Crete asked Daedalus to design a maze to imprison the creature known as the Minotaur, then locked Daedalus and his son inside the labyrinth to make sure only he knows the secrets it hides.

The album follows the history of airborne exploration, from the mythological flight of Daedalus and Icarus to escape the labyrinth of the Minotaur in " Too Close To The Sun ", through Leonardo da Vinci's search to design a flying machine, or ornithopter, in long-time Project drummer Stuart Elliott's " One Day To Fly ", until finally mankind's aspirations for space exploration placed on the shoulders of a single astronaut in " So Far Away " and the subsequent superpower race to put a man on the moon in " Apollo ", a track backed by John F. Kennedy's famous speech of May 25, 1961.

An illusion in the form of the mythological character Daedalus explains that King Minos has forced him to oversee the construction of a labyrinth that spans the space-time continuum.

Daedalus pleads for the player to find a way to destroy the labyrinth before Minos can complete his conquest.

Daedalus constructs wings for his son, Icarus, after a Roman relief in the Villa Albani, Rome ( Meyers Konversationslexikon, 1888 ).

Daedalus is first mentioned by Homer as the creator of a wide dancing-ground for Ariadne.

Since Minos controlled the land and sea routes, Daedalus set to work to fabricate wings for himself and his young son Icarus.

When both were prepared for flight, Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too high, because the heat of the sun would melt the wax, nor too low, because the sea foam would soak the feathers.

Minos, meanwhile, searched for Daedalus by travelling from city to city asking a riddle.

On the strength of a passage in The Illiad, it has been suggested that the palace was the site of a dancing-ground made for Ariadne by the craftsman Daedalus, where young men and women, of the age of those sent to Crete as prey for the Minotaur, would dance together.

Pinker has served on the editorial boards of journals such as Cognition, Daedalus, and PLOS One, and on the advisory boards of institutions for scientific research ( e. g., the Paul Allen Institute for Brain Science ), free speech ( e. g., the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education ), the popularization of science ( e. g., the World Science Festival and the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry ), peace ( e. g., the Peace Research Endowment ), and secular humanism ( e. g., the Freedom from Religion Foundation and the Secular Coalition of America

Newer designs using inertial confinement fusion have been the baseline for most post-Orion designs, including Project Daedalus and Project Longshot.

Currently, designing an ICF system efficient enough for a Daedalus design is still considerably beyond current technical capabilities.

Daedalus fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son.

Hellenistic writers give euhemerising variants in which the escape from Crete was actually by boat, provided by Pasiphaë, for which Daedalus invented the first sails, to outstrip Minos ' pursuing galleys, and that Icarus fell overboard en route to Sicily and drowned.

Minos was, however, determined to find Daedalus, and he travelled from city to city offering a challenge: he presented a spiral seashell and asked for it to be strung all the way through.

A study by Bussolari and Nadel ( 1989 ) led them to pick a recumbent riding position for the Daedalus flight even though the English Channel crossing was accomplished in the Gossamer Albatross with an upright position.
