According to the search results, Daedalus invented artificial wings made of wax and feathers to help him and his son Icarus escape from the Labyrinth. They collected feathers from the floor of the Labyrinth and found wax from beehives that had settled in the open corridors of the Labyrinth. With the wax and feathers, Daedalus fashioned two sets of wings. He fastened the wings to Icarus’ back and told his son not to fly too high or too low, otherwise, the sun would melt the wax or the water would wet the feathers and drag him down.
