Daedalus (Daed´alus) was a great architect and sculptor. He invented the wedge, the axe, the level, and the gimlet, and was the first to use sails. Daedalus also constructed the famous labyrinth for Minos, King of Crete. See Icarus.
“Now Daedalus, behold, by fate assigned,
A task proportioned to thy mighty mind.”
