Icarus and Daedelus: critical obedience














Pastor Allen's use of the classic myth of Icarus and Daedelus is a great illustration of the critical nature of obedience, one that any parent should want to establish in a child's heart from an early age. There are hundreds of great works of art depicting this anicent tale, and I have reproduced just a few of my favorites above. From left to right, they are by Elias, Rubens, Van Dyck, and Breughel.
