After burying Icarus, Daedalus traveled to Camicus in Sicily, where he stayed as a guest under the protection of King Cocalus. [44] There Daedalus built a temple to Apollo, and hung up his wings as an offering to the god. In an invention of Virgil (Aeneid VI), Daedalus flies to Cumae and founds his temple there, rather than in Sicily. [45]
After that, he was exiled to the court of Minos: "After the corpse was discovered, Daedalus was tried...and went into exile at the court of Minos." [6] In some accounts, Athena intervened of murder and turned Talos/Perdix into a partridge to save his life. [9] According to Ovid, that partridge later watched the death and burial of Icarus with glee.

Perdix (Ancient Greek: Πέρδιξ meaning "partridge" [1]) was a nephew and student of Daedalus in Greek mythology, claimed to have invented the potter's wheel, the saw, and the compass. In other sources, Perdix was the name of Daedalus's sister, and her inventor son was named Talos or Attalus. [2]
Before escaping, Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too low or the water would soak the feathers and not to fly too close to the sun or the heat would melt the wax. [3] Icarus ignored Daedalus's instructions not to fly too close to the sun, causing the beeswax in his wings to melt. Icarus fell from the sky, plunged into the sea, and drowned.
