The myth from ancient Greece of the boy who flew too close to the sun. It continues the story of Daedalus, whom we first met in The Minotaur. We hear how he and his son Icarus tried to escape from Crete with wings made of feathers and wax. Some of the touching details – such as Icarus playing with the feathers – come from the Latin poet,Ovid.

Answer from: genyjoannerubiera

Icarus wanted to fly higher, but he was not cautious or heeded the advice of the wise. This mistake ended all his dreams.

Explanation:

In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of Daedalus, one of the most creative and skillful men in Athens, known for his inventions and the perfection of his craftsmanship, symbolizing human ingenuity.

Daedalus projected wings, gathering feathers of birds of various sizes, tying them with threads and fixing them with wax so that they would not peel off. It was molding with the hands, so that these wings became perfect like those of the birds.

When the work was done, the artist, flapping his wings, found himself suspended in the air. Equipped Icarus and taught him how to fly. Then, before the final flight, he warned his son that they should fly at a medium height, not so close to the sun, so that the heat would not melt the wax that stuck the feathers, nor so low that the sea could wet them.

They first felt like gods who had mastered the air element. Icarus was dazzled by the beautiful image of the sun and, feeling attracted, flew toward him, forgetting his father's advices. The wax of his wings quickly began to melt and soon Icarus fell into the sea.

i believe the answer is: b. mr. head had a long, tube-like face with a rounded open jaw and a short depressed nose.

this is because in the un-revised sentence it said that mr. heads face was long and tube-like, and he had a rounded open jaw. this is not a very grammatically correct because of how it seems to drag on with the and, replaced with, with, makes it sound more fluent in the description.

Hi! your answer would be the women's association. here's why: "the childrens toys" should be "the children's toys". there's no apostrophe anywhere, and should go after "children". it does not go after the 's' because children is already plural, and you usually only add an apostrophe after a plural noun ends with an s, like boys or girls, for example. that is the boys' toys."the women's association", is correct. it's kinda like the one above. "the childrens' toys", is not correct. reason why is explained in the first one. "none of these" isn't correct, because "the women's association" is correct. hoped i and if you have any more questions, ask me. -dawn
