In Greek mythology, a brilliant inventor and craftsman famous for building the Labyrinth and creating wings to escape from Crete.
From ancient Greek 'Daidalos,' meaning 'skillful worker' or 'ingenious,' possibly from 'daidaleon' (variegated or cunningly made). Used as a proper name for the legendary figure.
The myth of Daedalus teaches an important lesson: his son Icarus flew too close to the sun (got too confident) and crashed, which is why excessive confidence is sometimes called 'Icarus syndrome' in psychology!
