Daedalus's son is named what?

• A. Theseus
• B. Aeneas
• C. Icarus
• D. Perseus

Answer: (C)

This question tests your knowledge of names tied to familiar Greek myths. Daedalus is the famed craftsman who helps shape the famous escape from Crete, including crafting wings for himself and his son. The son who flies with him is named Icarus. The story highlights a warning against overambition—Icarus flies too close to the sun, the wax in his wings melts, and he falls into the sea. That makes Icarus the correct answer.

For context, the other names belong to different heroes: Theseus is known for slaying the Minotaur, Aeneas is the Trojan hero associated with founding a lineage in Roman myth, and Perseus is the rescuer who defeats Medusa. They aren’t Daedalus’s son, which is why Icarus is the one that fits here.
