Daedalus is the desired character in this story of him and his son. From the very start, we are showcased his most wonderful skill of defined intelligence. In addition, he is also famous for the innovative mind and his understanding of sculptures and architecture. But like many intelligent beings, he has a dark-side which carries his emotions of pride, jealousy, anger, and cold-heartedness.

Originally, he belongs to Athens but subsequently enters Crete which is reigned by King Minos. The famous Daedalus is forcefully thrown out of Athens as he murdered his apprentice Perdix, who is said to be his nephew, out of jealousy. This shows his evil attributes and complexity in his behavior while indulging in anything other than his innovations and experimentation.

Although, his several successful inventions, the wax-wings become the most celebrated invention among the crowd. But unfortunately, those wings melt as soon as Icarus approaches towards the Sun, and he falls to die. This abrupt situation in the story creates a question-“Why did he risk his son’s life?”

Daedalus is always focused on creating something without realizing what a menace the invention can bring. The quick-tempered scientist took his experiment so far, risking his son’s life, just to track the limits of his invention. However, he pays a great price for this action. His story of a great intellect converts into a moral story for us, which states not to challenge the laws made by nature.

Contrary to the famous belief, in my opinion, he is not an “epic hero”. Even though he is more intelligent, he does not showcase any leadership-skills or physical power. However, his deep love for his son can be noticed in multiple cases. Another popular theory states that Daedalus can be a wise mentor of any hero because he assisted Theseus in his conquest for the Labyrinth.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification

"he wondered how many people would actually show up to out and how many would simply hope that enough others did." "he explained to her that martin’s mom had died, and told her how he felt about his friend’s loss. 'what do you plan to do for him? ' his mother asked."
