MORE GREEK MYTHOLOGY LESSONS

Prior knowledge of other Greek gods and goddesses is not needed, but I do have several other Greek myths like this one available in the series.

This Icarus and Daedalus lesson is the sixth lesson in my Greek Mythology series, but it can also be taught alone.

Daedalus is mentioned in the story of Theseus and the Minotaur (Daedalus built the Minotaur’s labyrinth), so you might want to precede this lesson with one on Theseus and the Minotaur. It’s not required for students to understand this lesson, but they do go well together.
