A Flighty Idea--Gliding Through the Air Over Saichia People have long been fascinated with flight. A Greek myth had it that a brilliant inventor, Daedelus, made wings out of feathers and wax. He and his son, Icarus, stuck the wings to their arms, and flew out of the old fortress in which they were imprisoned.
早在希臘神話時代，偉大發明工匠狄德勒斯，將羽毛和油蠟製成翅膀黏在自己和兒子伊卡魯斯的手臂上，像鳥一樣飛離被幽禁的古塔，便預示了人類對於飛行的無限想望。
