This final episode of Icarus, son of Daedalus is the aftermath to the fall of Icarus - Act V and an Epilogue.
No, Daedalus does not fall, but what does he do after his son’s demise? Does he fly on?
Although he grieves for Icarus, he cannot stop his flight too long as Minos is not happy that his prized engineer has escaped and is in hot pursuit. And so Daedalus, after doing proper rites for his son, flies on to sanctuary with the King of Sicily, Cocalus. Having landed there safely, Daedalus literally hangs up his wings and gives up flying forever and finds a degree of safety with Cocalus and his two daughters.
Then, in an unfortunate turn of events, Daedalus’s genius gives himself away by solving the riddle of the shell- in Minos’s own words, he outfoxed the foxy engineer - and Minos claims his engineer.
What next? Will sanctuary be respected? Will Cocalus protect his refugee? If not, will Daedalus go willingly? Will his wings stay hung in the temple to Apollo? Will Minos burn the palace to the ground to get back his genius? Can anyone stand up to Minos?
