Daedalus And
Icarus
This Grecian Urn
is about the story of Daedalus and Cirrus. There are two pictures on my
urn. The top picture is of the palace that Daedalus, Icarus’ Father,
made for king Minos. The bottom picture is Icarus, the boy with wings
stuck on with wax, falling into the sea. Icarus fell into the sea because
he flew to near the sun and the wax melted.

| This pot shows the famous myth, The Gorgon
Slayer. The myth is about a young boy called Perseus who lives on an
island called Seriphos. The tyrant king Polydectes wants to marry Perseus’s
mother, but neither Perseus or his mother want this to happen. Perseus
offers that he goes and gets Medusas head instead of Polydectes marrying
his mother. Perseus sets out receiving gifts from gods and finding
information out from ugly looking creatures. He finally finds Medusa and
chops off her head. When he gets back to Polydectes’s kingdom he shows
Polydectes Medusas head. Polydectes and the crowds of people turn to stone
as the head possesses magical powers.
The scene on the pot represents Perseus chopping of
Medusas head.

| Theseus and the
Minotaur
King Minos of Crete had long hated the Athenians, for
they had killed his son when he took all the prizes at the Athenian games.
To prevent King Minos from waging war against them, every nine years, the
Athenians sent seven youths and maidens to be sacrificed to the Minotaur-half
man – half bull – which lived in the labyrinth in Crete. Theseus, son
of King Aegeus, was angered by this cruelty so he decided to go to Crete
and face the Minotaur in battle. His father begged him not to go and said
if you kill the Minotaur put up white sails. If you fail put up black
sails. So when Theseus arrived at Crete he went into the minotaur’s
labyrinth with a ball of string and a sword soon he met the minotaur and
had a blood thirsty battle and Theseus won . When he came home he forgot
to change the sail and his father jumped off the cliff because he thought
his son was dead and Theseus then became the King.
