Deadalus and Icarus
Deadalus was a famous architect I Athens at ancient times. He used to be so good at his work that only Talos could compete with him. Talos was Deadalus nephew . Little by little , Talos became better and better in comparison to his uncle. Deadalus became really jealous. They went together to the Acropolis and Daedalus threw him down. The supreme court decide to exile him about this criminal action. Deadalus went to Crete. There he presented himself in front of Minoa, the King of Crete. King Minoa let him stay in the palace and after a while he got married to Naucrate and they gave birth to a baby boy , Icarus.
One day, Daedalus heard that his wife had died and so he took on raising their son, Icarus. One day Daedalus and Icarus visited Minoa and asked for permission to return to Athens. Minoa got really angry but he didn’t want Daedalus to leave and so he prisoned them in the Labyrinth, a maze that was really hard to find a way to escape. But Deadalus was creative and made gigantic wings while being in the maze from feathers of birds and wax.
Father and son could now fly to Athens. Icarus, however, being enthusiastic and too young, got excited by the thrill of flying and carried away by the amazing feeling of freedom and started flying high to salute the sun, diving low to the sea, and then up high again.
Icarus didn’t listen to his father’s advice and flew next to the sun, his wings melted. Icarus fell into the sea and drowned. The Icarian Sea, where he fell, was named after him and there is also a nearby small island called Icaria. Then Daedalus went to Sicilia. He stayed there for a while and afterwards he left for Athens.

Sacrifice of Ifigenia in Avlida
In ancient times, the greks wanted to sail towards Troy. Agamenmon was the leader. They wanted to take back Beautiful Hellen that Paris had eloped. But the wind was not good enough to sail and so the Greeks decided to get advice by Diviner Kalhas. He told them that the reason for the bad wind was Goddess Diana , the goddess of Hunting , who was mad with the Greeks as Agamemnon had killed her sacred Deer. The only way for the boats to sil was to sacrifice Agamemnon’s daughter Ifigenia.
Agamenon lied to his wife, saying that Ifigenia would get married to the famous king Achileles , so that he could persuade his wife to bring Ifigenia with her . And so it happened. Agamemnon announced the bad news in front of Ifigenia, who , then , on her own , decided to be sacrificed since it was the Goddess’s will. Her mother’s curses were heard everywhere.
Suddenly, at the exact moment Kalhas raises his sword, Goddess Diana went down and grabbed Ifigenia and put a deer in her place.
Goddess Diana took Ifigenia with her.
At the port of Avlida, there was an upheaval, and strong winds broke out. Finally, it was the right moment for the big expedition to Troy to begin.
The trojan horse
After Achilles’s death, the Achaeans could not believe that they would capture Troj. Then , Odysseus thought that Troj would not fall out of weapons but out of cunningness. So he advised the Achaeans to build a huge, wooden horse that would be empty from the inside calling it the Trojan Horse.
When they constructed it, they wrote on it:
“A present from the Achaeans to Athena”
and then got inside. The men, who didn’t get in,
went to Tenedos, a small nearby island.
The next morning, Trojan people couldn’t believe their eyes as the Achaeans had gone and had left a big, wooden horse behind. When they came out of the city walls, they read the note, but Kassandra and Laokoontas kept telling that they should be afraid of the Achaeans even if bringing presents.
Nonetheless, the Trojan people took the wooden horse in the center of the city and in the evening, they celebrated their “victory”. At night and as the Trojans were all asleep, the Achaeans gout out of the Trojan horse and opened the gates for their fellow Achaeans to enter and destroy Troj. The next morning, the Achaeans unloaded the loots and left for their home country.
