	Daedalus
		The Athenian Daedalus, son of Metion and the grandson of Erechtheus
		Daedalus gave her a flaxen thread for Theseus to tie to the door of the Labyrinth as he entered, and by which he could find his way out after killing the monster.

	Daedalus - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		To Daedalus the Greeks of the historic age were in the habit of attributing buildings, and statues the origin of which was lost in the past, and which had no inscription belonging to them.
		Daedalus is mentioned as the maker of a dancing-place for Ariadne in Crete; and such a dancing-place has been discovered by A. Evans, in the Minoan palace of Cnossus.
		This Daedalus must not be confused with Daedalus of Sicyon, a great sculptor of the early part of the 4th century B.C., none of whose works is extant.

	Project Daedalus
		Certain guidelines were adopted: the Daedalus spacecraft had to use current or near-future technology, be able to reach its destination within a human lifetime, and be flexible enough in its design that it could be sent to any of a number of target stars.
		However, whereas Orion would have employed nuclear fission, the Daedalus engineers opted to power their starship by nuclear fusion – in particular, by a highly-efficient technique known as internal confinement fusion.
		Daedalus would be constructed in Earth orbit and have an initial mass of 54,000 tons, including 50,000 tons of fuel and 500 tons of scientific payload.

	Daedalus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For Minos' wife, Pasiphae, Daedalus built a wooden cow so she could mate with the bull, for the Greeks imagined the Minoan bull of the sun to be an actual, earthly bull.
		Daedalus was so envious of his nephew's accomplishments that he took an opportunity, when they were together one day on the top of a high tower, to push him off.
		In the period of Romanticism, Daedalus came to denote the classic artist, a skilled mature craftsman, while Icarus symbolizes the romantic artist, an undisputed heir of the classic artist, whose impetuous, passionate and rebellious nature, as well as his defiance of formal aesthetic and social conventions, ultimately prove to be self destructive.

		Daedalus warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, as it would melt his wings, and not too close to the sea, as it would dampen them and make it hard to fly.
		Daedalus eventually left Camicus, much to the dismay of king Cocalus and his daughters, and ended up in Sardinia with a group led by Iolaus, who was a nephew of Heracles.
		Daedalus was so envious of his nephew's performances that he took an opportunity, when they were together one day on the top of a high tower to push him off.

		Daedalus, who received his craftsmanship from Athena, belonged to the royal Athenian clan called the Metionids, and among his ancestors are Erichthonius 2, who was king of Athens and was said to be the son of Athena and Hephaestus, and also King Erechtheus.
		Daedalus was condemned in the Areopagus for murder, and he fled to Crete, being followed in his exile by one of his pupils, Endoeus.
		Daedalus was held responsible for the murder of one of his pupils, Talos 2, because, they say, he feared that Talos 2, with his talents, might surpass him.

	BBC - h2g2 - Daedalus - Inventor
		Daedalus lived in Athens, and is said to have been taught by Athena.
		But then Daedalus was forced to leave Athens after killing his nephew in a fit of jealous rage, fearing that his talents might surpass his own, when he saw that his nephew had invented the saw from a snake's jaw.
		Diodorus puts the nephew's name as Talos, and adds that, when Daedalus was caught in the act of burying the body, he explained that he was burying a snake (referring to the tale of how the nephew, whatever his name was, invented the saw with the jawbone of a snake).

	Project Daedalus - Origins
		Icarus disobeyed his father's instructions and flew too close to the Sun, the heat melted the wax holding the wings together, he fell into the sea, and was drowned.
		Daedalus, on the other hand, flew neither too high nor too low, and arrived safely at his destination.
		Project Daedalus is the name chosen for the British Interplanetary Society's Starship study.

	daedalus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Since Daedalus the homo faber is not engaged in an act of hybris, but in an act of creation according to the Lucretian notion of progress, the virtue of moderation now appears appropriate and not at all psychologically incongruous, as it seemed to be in a 'classic' interpretation of the myth.
		Daedalus, composed as he may be as the self-contained artisan, cannot avoid the test and the failure of his values when he exposes his son to an endeavour he himself is up to, but apparently not this too young child.
		Daedalus realizes here that he himself may have been on top of the world, but that his egocentric attitude has caused the death of a loved one, who was not yet ready for the 'Epicurean way of life'.

	DAEDALUS - Ancient Mythology
		After having killed Icarus' cousin in a fit of jealous rage, Daedalus and his son fled to Crete, where the inventor was summoned to the court of King Minos.
		The king told Daedalus that he wished the artisan to construct a huge, labyrinthine maze, a prison for his bastard son, the Minotaur, which his wife had conceived after having lain with the Cretan Bull.
		On completion of this task, Daedalus and his son were sealed up in the labyrinth with the raging Minotaur, but due to the inventor's knowledge of the maze, they both managed to escape.

		In the end Daedalus was transformed from a wilderness of information warfare to a verdant planet not unlike any other federation planet.
		That it was this evolution/infiltration-worshipping clade that eventually unleashed the AI virus causing the Geteche disaster in 3694 was at the time not connected to the history of Daedalus.
		The infowar environment on Daedalus (and now elsewhere in the system) contained a subtle emergent intelligence, attuned to infiltration and perversion of any information system it came into contact with.

	Daedalus EC87-0014-8: Daedalus Project's Light Eagle - Human powered aircraft
		To celebrate the Greek myth of Daedalus, the man who constructed wings of wax and feathers to escape King Minos, the Daedalus project began with the goal of designing, building and testing a human-powered aircraft that could fly the mythical distance, 115 km.
		The Daedalus 88 aircraft was the ship that flew the 199 km from the Iraklion Air Force Base on Crete in the Mediterranean Sea, to the island of Santorini in 3 hours, 54 minutes.
		The Daedalus 88, which later set the world record, was then shipped from MIT to replace the 87's research flights, and for general checkout procedures.

		Daedalus crossed the Aegean to safety, but his son flew too near the sun and fell into the sea.

	Photograph, Flight of Daedalus: Exhibits: Institute Archives & Special Collections: MIT
		The culmination of these efforts was the flight on April 23, 1988, of Daedalus, a plane engineered at MIT and named in honor of the mythological inventor who escaped the tyranny of King Minos of Crete by taking to the sky on wings he fashioned using wax and feathers.
		Daedalus weighed a mere 68.5 pounds when empty, despite its 29-foot fuselage and 112-foot wingspan.
		A part weighing 21 grams, for example, is listed as a “bungee gizmo” under the general category of “miscellaneous wing stuff.” On the sample page seen here a project member has jokingly estimated that a smudge of grease on the paper weighs one hundredth of a milligram.

		Daedalus built the labyrinth for King Minos, but afterward lost the favor of the king, and was shut up in a tower.

		The title, Daedalus, refers to the ship of that name, an experimental warp capable vessel that exploded on its maiden voyage thirteen years earlier.
		Tucker, who had worked on the Daedalus project, finds his memories of that catastrophe coming back to haunt him in more ways than one in this story and it is Commander Tucker who quickly becomes the main character in the novel.
		Just after the midway point the plot of "Daedalus" takes it's first startling twist but it is in the final chapter that Stern guarantees you'll want to read part two, "Daedalus's Children", by dropping another astonishing, and hopefully unforeseen turn into the story.
