1. Alis factis, Daedalus volare paravit.

The wings having been made, Daedalus prepared to fly.

Alis factis is an absolute ablative construction: an independent phrase with a noun in the
ablative case and a participle which agrees with it in gender, number and case, both words
forming a clause.

2. Filio timens, Daedalus Icarum monuit,

Fearing for his son, Daedalus advised Icarus,

3. "Vola post me; specta me; fac sicut facio!"

Fly behind me; watch me; do as I do!

4. Daedalus intellegit mare plumas humectare.

Daedalus understands that the sea wets the feathers.

This is an accusative + infinitive construction (everything that goes after that in the
translation). It introduces indirect speech. Mare in accusative is the subject of the
subordinate clause and the verb humectare (to wet) is in infinitive.

5. Etiam Daedalus intellegit solem ceram liquefacere.

and Daedalus also understands that the sun melts the wax.

Again the same construction. Solem in acusative is the subject of the subordinate clause
and liquefacere in infinitive (literally understands the sun to melt wax).

6. Ergo: Via media erat sola via!

Therefore: the way between was the only way!

7. Piscator, pastor, et agricola Daedalum et Icarum viderunt.

A fisherman, a shepherd and a farmer saw Daedalus and Icarus.
8. Hi homines clamaverunt, "Sunt dei! Homines volare non possunt!"
These men exclaimed, They are gods! Men cannot fly!
