Answer :

Two moral lessons taught by the story of Daedalus and Icarus are: Follow the advice of experienced people and Do not betray other people.

What is the story of Daedalus and Icarus?

The story of Daedalus and Icarus is a Greek legend in which it says that on the island of Crete there was a monotaur that frightened everyone. Therefore, King Minos believed that it was a good idea to capture him to cause fear in his rivals.

To capture the minotaur he hired Daedalus and his son Icarus to invent a way to catch the minotaur and keep him imprisoned. For this Daedalus and Icarus invented a labyrinth from which the minotaur could not leave.

However, King Minos betrayed Daedalus and made him his prisoner as well. One day, Daedalus had an idea to be free again with his son, he asked Minos for hundreds of feathers and wax under the pretext that he was creating an invention for war.

Daedalus created wings so that he and his son could fly and escape from the prison of Minos. Once the wings were ready, Daedalus advised his son not to fly so high because the heat of the sun would melt the wax from his wings.

When they went out to fly, Icaro forgot his father's advice and flew very high, higher than the seagulls, causing the wax on his wings to melt and fall into the sea.

What ethical or moral teachings does this legend teach us?

The two ethical or moral teachings that this legend leaves us is that:

  • We must follow the advice of people with more experience, because we can make mistakes like Icaro who fell into the sea and died for not following the advice of his father.
  • We must not betray other people as Minos did with Daedalus and Icarus, because they helped him capture the minotaur and he only wanted them out of personal interest.
