Otus and Ephialtes Two twins who were giants sons of Poseidon They were troublemakers and imprisoned Ares They were going to stack 2 Mountains on top of each other but they were stopped by Poseidon They were interested in something else so they tried to catch Artemis Artemis knew of their evil doing so she led them to the island of Naxos and the two saw a beautiful milky-white hind, it disappeared so the brothers split up They both saw the creature at the same time and threw their spears at the thing, but the creature disappeared and they killed each other because they were across from one another

12. Daedalus Invented the labyrinth Both he him and his son were captured by King Minos He made wings to escape, but unfortunately his son died He flew to Sicily King Cocalus' daughters pour scalding hot water on King Minos

13. Questions Do you think that the hero Jason is overrated for his victory of the golden fleece? Would you have taken the same actions the Princess (madea) did to get revenge? Why did Daedalus and his son get captured by King Minos?
