Excerpts from Ovid's Metamorphoses

In classical mythology, Daedalus was an ingenious inventor, designer of the Labyrinth, and one of the few to escape from it. He was the father of Icarus . Daedalus is a symbol of inventiveness and craftsmanship.

The Labyrinth was a vast maze on the island of Crete, and the King of Crete kept the Minotaur in it. Very few people escaped from the Labyrinth. One was Theseus , the killer of the Minotaur. He unwound a ball of string as he passed through, and then retraced his steps by following the string backwards. Daedalus, also imprisoned in the Labyrinth, escaped with his son, Icarus, by making wings and flying over the top of the walls. A labyrinth can be literally a maze or figuratively any highly intricate construction or problem.

Icarus died tragically while using artificial wings, invented by his father, to escape from the Labyrinth. When Icarus flew too close to the Sun, it melted the wax that held the wings together, and he fell to earth.

In some cases, it's cool to hide behind a famous persona. After all, the Net is the chameleon's playground; you can be anyone you want, and be free from preconceptions based on looks, age, race, sex, hair color etc. Just remember Murphy's Law of Cyber-Romance: The most interesting guys you meet online are totally devoid of personality in real life.
