The fall of Icarus...



It's the classic story...Innocent man was a victim of bad old king,man wants to escape,man have son who is stupid,man mange to escape but looses his son..as lame as it may sounds, I actually enjoyed Ovid's tale of Deadalus and Icarus.It makes me think of myself, on how sometimes when we are in the top of things suddenly we find ourselves back at square one again.


I think Deadelus was a tragic hero. Though he might be able to set himself free but the end of the day he lost the most important thing in his life..his son.Using the painting also help me in understanding the story better.I think using it in as part of set induction will surely makes the learning interesting to students.
