Diodorus Siculus attributes the "walking pose" of statues of youths called kouroi to this figure, who wasalso claimed as an ancestor by Socrates. This man's skill in sculpture and metalworking is also shown on apair of golden temple doors located variously in Sicily or Cumae. This man took refuge at the court of KingCocalus, whose daughters boiled his pursuer alive after he appeared searching for a man to thread a stringthrough a seashell. When the Athenians sought to claim this figure as one of their own, they explained hisdeparture from the city with the story that he grew jealous of his nephew for inventing the saw and threwhim off the Acropolis. This man's own creations include a wooden cow used by Pasiphae and two pairs ofwax and feather wings. For 10 points, name this architect of the Labyrinth and father of Icarus.
