The father and son duo were trapped inside their own labyrinth. After Theseus managed to escape Minos trapped the two of them inside the maze forever and that was their punishment. Daedalus decides to escape by the sea since that is the one thing that Minos has no control over. He made wings for himself and his son out of wax and feathers. He warned his son to not fly too high or the sun would melt the wax. Another warning was to not fly too close to the sea or the water would cause the feathers to become damp. Icarus chose not to listen to his father and in his high of flying flew too close to the sun and fell to his death in the sea.
I could even write about Philemon and Baucis. They were the only ones in the town to offer shelter to Zeus and Hermes. The two of them approached hundred of homes but everyone refused. These two however accepted them and treated them in the best way they could. They offered them the best food and drinks that they had and made them feel comfortable.
