Daedalus Attaching the Wings to his Son, Icarus, early 18th century, 13 3/4 in. (34.93 cm), Bronze, brown-black varnish, France, 18th century, Daedalus, the architect, inventor, and craftsman of Greek legend, is shown attaching wings to the back of his son, Icarus, and pointing upward and away. According to the most influential version of the ancient myth as it is recounted by Ovid, Daedalus fabricated wings of feathers and wax in order to escape by air from the island of Crete, where he and his son were held captive by King Minos. Disregarding his fathers advice, Icarus flew too close to the sun. The wax melted and he fell into the sea and drowned. The myth of Daedalus and Icarus has remained a popular parable about heeding ones elders, the dangers of excessive ambition and pride, and the benefits and risks of technological progress.

In Greek mythology Medusa (Greek: Μέδουσα, 'guardian, protectress') was a Gorgon, a chthonic monster, and a daughter of Phorcys and Ceto. Gazing directly upon her would turn onlookers to stone. She was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion.
