[Illustration: DAEDALUS ET ICARUS]

_271._ DAED'ALUS AND IC'ARUS

Creta est insula antiqua quae aqua alta magni maris pulsatur. Ibi olim
Minos erat rex. Ad eum venit Daedalus qui ex Graecia patria fugiebat.
Eum Minos rex benignis verbis accepit et ei domicilium in Creta dedit.
[5]Quo in loco Daedalus sine cura vivebat et regi multa et clara opera
faciebat. Post tempus longum autem Daedalus patriam caram desiderare
incepit. Domum properare studebat, sed regi persuadere non potuit et
mare saevum fugam vetabat.

[Footnote 5: _And in this place_; /quo\ does not here introduce a
subordinate relative clause, but establishes the connection with the
preceding sentence. Such a relative is called a _connecting
relative_, and is translated by _and_ and a demonstrative or
personal pronoun.]
