Icarus Project: Daedalus Project:
Icarus fascinates not so much because he flew too near the sun, melting his wax wings. Rather, the complex relationship between Icarus and his father Daedalus who succeeds him. Their relationship: son as hapless and arrogant youth, father as artificer, is nothing short of archetypal. In an early version of James Joyce’s Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Stephen Dedalus was spelled Daedalus, and the mythological figure served throughout his literary career as Joyce’s alter ego.
