1He was then tried at the Areiopagus, which was the ancient Greek court, and banished from his home city of Athens. 2He fled to the island of Crete, where he began to work at the court of King Minos and Queen Pasiphae, in the magnificent palace of Knossos.


3It is said that Daedalus was the first to conceive masts and sails for ships for the navy of Minos, helping Crete become a naval power. 4The statues he carved were so exquisite, they looked as if they were alive. 5It is said that they would have escaped were it not for the chain that bound them to the palace wall.


6Daedelus also constructed a wooden cow for the queen to hide in to satisfy her amorous longings for a white bull sent by Poseidon.


7When the dreadful Minotaur was born, Daedalus built the Labyrinth to contain the monstrous half-man, half-bull. 8For years, Minos demanded a tribute of youths from Athens to feed the creature as punishment for the accidental killing of his son while he was visiting Athens.


9Eventually, the Athenian hero Theseus came to Crete to attempt to slay the Minotaur. 10Princess Ariadne, daughter of King Minos and Queen Pasiphae, fell in love with Theseus and asked Daedalus to help him.


11Daedalus gave her a flaxen thread for Theseus to tie to the door of the Labyrinth as he entered, and by which he could find his way out after killing the monster. 12Theseus succeeded, and escaped Crete with Ariadne.
