Father of Icarus
I believe the answer is:
'father of icarus' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for daedalus that I've seen before include "In Greek myth, the Athenian who built the labyrinth at Minos" , "Inventor of myth" , "Greek artist" , "Mythical inventor, father to Icarus" , "Oddly, lauded as the creator of the Labyrinth in which the Minotaur was kept" .)
