![]() Daedalus had two sons: Icarus and Iapyx, along with a nephew named either Talos, Calos, or Perdix. Similarly, his mother was either Alcippe, Iphinoe, Phrasmede or Merope, daughter of King Erechtheus. His father is claimed to be either Eupalamus, Metion, or Palamaon. Family ĭaedalus's parentage was supplied as a later addition, with various authors attributing different parents to him. The name appears in the form da-da-re-jo-de, possibly referring to a sanctuary. The name Daidalos seems to be attested in Linear B, a writing system used to record Mycenaean Greek. It was during this escape that Icarus did not heed his father's warnings and flew too close to the sun the wax holding his wings together melted and Icarus fell to his death. Among his most famous creations are the wooden cow for Pasiphaë, the Labyrinth for King Minos of Crete which imprisoned the Minotaur, and wings that he and his son Icarus used to attempt to escape Crete. He is the father of Icarus, the uncle of Perdix, and possibly also the father of Iapyx. In Greek mythology, Daedalus ( UK: / ˈ d iː d ə l ə s/, US: / ˈ d ɛ d ə l ə s/ Greek: Δαίδαλος Latin: Daedalus Etruscan: Taitale) was a skillful architect and craftsman, seen as a symbol of wisdom, knowledge and power. Keywords: the Icarus myth, the Icarus complex, the Icarian individual, water, fire, rise and fall imagery, reconstruction of the myth.A Roman mosaic from Zeugma, Commagene (now in the Zeugma Mosaic Museum) depicting Daedalus and his son Icarus First myth and its structure will be explained, secondly the Icarus myth and the Icarus complex will be described, then the character Mandras will be analysed in relation the myth of Icarus. The constituent units of the myth of Icarus will be integrated into the story of Mandras to present the continuance of the myth in a postmodern novel. In addition to that, the Icarus complex will be examined with respect to the behaviours and psychology of Mandras. ![]() ![]() The present paper aims to analyse the character Mandras within the framework of the Icarus myth, the similarities between Icarus and Mandras will be studied in relation to the water/the sea, fire/ the sun, rise and fall imagery. ![]() There are common concepts both in the myth of Icarus and the story of the character Mandras in Captain Corelli's Mandolin, some of them are transcending corporeality, craving for immortality, desire to rise, over-ambitious and inexperienced behaviours, the relation between father and son, inability to use power, and the expected fall after the rise. Keywords: Icarus, the Candle and the Moth, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,culture This study aims to compare and contrast different meanings of the images in the myth of Icarus, The Candle and the Moth and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, offering an insight into different cultural values. On the other hand, these images function indifferent ways, as each text reflects different cultural codes. In thisrespect, the myth of Icarus, James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and The Candle and the Moth have shared images. Likewise, in The Candle and the Moth (Şem’ü Pervane), which is one of theproducts of Eastern literature and is written by Feridüddin Attar as well, the candle andthe butterfly motif provides an insight into the image of light and darkness. Thesimilar mythical elements are also embedded in James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as aYoung Man in which Dedalus’s spiritual enlightenment or elevation is followed bydeflation. As these images have anontological root, they appear in different cultures’ literature even in different times. In the story, the hero desires to escape the darkness of the labyrinthhe is confined in and to reach the sun with his wings. The myth of Icarus is one of them, shedding light on the images of flight and fall,light and darkness. The mythical narratives which represent collective consciousness harbour variousimages. ![]()
