> I’m reading all about Icarus for AP Lit, and Minos’s plan for finding Daedalus post his escape is so funny.

> His entire plan is “Well. Daedalus is smart. So if I make up a riddle and tell it to the whole nation, whichever town solves it first is the town Daedalus is hiding in”

> Like. No. Minos. Did you forget that if the riddle was easy enough for you yourself to make up, it might not be the best one to use?

> BUT THE PLAN WORKS ANYWAY.

> So yeah. In conclusion, Minos’s plan is dumb but it’s hilarious and works and I love it

Update: Minos goes to the town to capture Daedalus, but the local king was like nope and killed Minos instead.

So his plan worked but he failed anyway
