A father. A son. A desperate escape.
On the island of Crete, master craftsman Daedalus is trapped with his young son, Icarus, under the watchful eye of a ruthless king. With no road to freedom by land or sea, he turns to the only path left: the sky.
By studying the birds and trusting his own genius, Daedalus builds wings from feathers and wax—an impossible invention that might carry them both to safety. But when Icarus tastes the thrill of flight, excitement drowns out caution, and a daring escape becomes one of the most enduring cautionary tales in history.
In Wings of Wax: The Story of Daedalus and Icarus, narrator Mike Vendetti brings this classic Greek myth to life in clear, modern language, perfect for listeners of all ages. This short, powerful retelling explores timeless themes of freedom, pride, wise counsel, and the thin line between courage and recklessness.
Ideal for:
Mythology lovers and short-story listeners
Teachers and homeschool families looking for a classroom-friendly audio version
