Daedalus believed that it to be his greatest work and superior to the Chain of Balance that kept Mount Olympus tied to the Underworld. That simple mission consumed Zeus to the point that he did not allow Daedalus to embark on any repair duties and instead created a great structure that served as a prison for the daughter of Hephaestus. The Labyrinth was contained in the Caverns of Olympus. Icarus fell to his death after he flew too close to the Sun. In Daedalus' attempt to escape the Labyrinth, he and his son, Icarus, wore Wax Wings. Theseus was aided by Ariadne, who provided him with a skein of thread, literally the 'clue', so that he could find his way out again. Daedalus had so cunningly made the Labyrinth that he could barely escape it after he built it. Its function was to hold the Minotaur, a mythical creature that was half man and half bull and was eventually killed by the Athenian hero, Theseus. In Greek Mythology, the Labyrinth was an elaborate structure that was designed and built by the legendary artificer, Daedalus, for King Minos of Crete at Knossos.
