Answer: The Myth is, to the fullest extent, the story of how one man can lose everything, in this case, Daedalus.

Explanation:

Daedalus in Myth is the greatest tragedy. Daedalus was one of the greatest ancient inventors in Greek mythology. After devising the maze in which the King closed the Minotaur, the mythical hero Theseus went out to find a way out and kill the Minotaur. The King was furious about this because Daedalus claimed that the way out of the maze was impossible. As a punishment, he imprisoned Daedalus and his son Icarus in the house.

It was the first in a series of Daedalus tragedies. In the tower, Daedalus has been collecting feathers for years to make wings and allow his son to escape from the tower. The wings were made of pit feathers coming to the tower and candles. When they were finally done, Daedalus told his son not to fly too high because the sun would melt the wax. Icarus was headstrong and young; when he took off, he couldn't resist flying high. It flew and fell, and his father Daedalus watched it all. This has broken the Daedalus, and because of all the above, one can take into account the notion that this Myth is a Daedalus tragedy.
