Answer:
In the story "Flight of Icarus", Daedalus was convinced that he would find a way towards his freedom, and he never gave up on it, even when his attempts did not give any success.
King Minos ordered Daedalus shut up in a high tower surrounded by a lonely sea after Theseus had escaped from the labyrinth. Daedalus was not discouraged by that fact, so he decided to make artificial wings, in order to escape from the tower, as King Minos did not control the air.
