The most likely purpose of the author behind the incorporation of detail regarding the cry of Daedalus in the second paragraph would be:

- to display his concern for Icarus(his son) who will employ his new invention i.e. the waxwings.

In the given excerpt from the VIIIth book of "Metamorphoses," the author mentions Daedalus' exclaim stating "Let me warn you Icarus" which clearly reflects his concern for his son. He was well aware of the fact that Icarus doesn't know flying and it is dangerous for him to directly use the waxwings(his new invention).His anxiousness is further substantiated through his shouting of rules associated with flying and safety measures while warning his son and his trembling hands.

Answer from: yeeyee69

The author's purpose for including the details of Daedalus' crying in paragraph 2 is to show his anxiety for his son (Icarus) who will be using his new invention (the wings made of wax). He wasn't completely sure whether his son would be able to follow his order and make it alive.

Explanation:

"Daedalus" is a character in the Greek mythology. He is a skillful craftsman who is full of wisdom and knowledge. As seen on paragraph 1, Daedalus thought of a way in order for him and his son to escape the "Labyrinth" which was actually intended for King Minos of Crete.

In the end, his son died because he wasn't able to completely follow his father's instruction. This is the reason why Daedalus got teary-eyed before his son departed, for he already could perceive what will happen ahead.
