In this episode of Icarus, son of Daedalus, we hear of the consequences of defying King Minos. In Act III Daedalus gets thrown in the maze for his instrumental help satisfying Queen Pasiphae's abnormal desire for the bull from the sea. Icarus, in an unusual fit of loyalty, dutifully joins his father in the maze. Meanwhile, her desire slaked, Queen Pasiphae herself defies Minos and helps father and son escape the labyrinth, but Minos has been suspicious of Pasiphae for some time, and he catches all three before they can completely escape. Not only for this will there be Hades to pay from Minos, but also for Daedalus’s part in aiding and abetting Princess Ariadne and the hero tribute Theseus when they slew the Minotaur and escaped the labyrinth. Given all this treachery, can you fault Minos his high dudgeon? The episode ends as father and son are led to the inescapable tower of Crete, their second and final incarceration.
