This story is placed in Crete in the time after Daedalus was shut into a tower after losing favor with King Minos.
The agents in this story are Daedalus and his son Icarus.
The reason behind the plot of this fable is that Daedalus waned to escape with his son from the tower they were locked in.
The manner by which they achieved their escape was by using feathers tied and waxed together in a shape that resembled the wings of a bird. They used the contraptions to fly from the tower.
The main action of this story is when Daedalus and Icarus fly from the tower and into to sky.
The Anagnorisis of the story is when Icarus ignores his father’s advice and flies too close to the sun, melting his wings.
The Peripeteia happens when Icarus’s wings melt from the heat of the sun and he falls into the sea. His foolishness and failure to listen to his father’s warning caused him to suffer a deathly consequence.
The Pathos occurs when Daedalus discovers and morns his son’s death.
