Review

Daedalus Rising, the true story of Icarus is an intelligent, elegant read. Mr. Case develops the main characters of Daedalus and Icarus to the point you actually fall in love with them. It all comes together in a powerful retelling and remastering of the story, and the myth finally makes sense. It isn't a tragedy anymore... --EJ Thornton, best-selling author of Angel On Board

With hypnotism and ease, Robert Case teaches us to dream, fly, and explore, and become more of who we are meant to be. Through his sweet and powerful story telling, Case stirs the ancient dreams within each of us, and invites us to reconsider the truth, the myth, and the power of our lives. --Tama J. Kieves, best-selling author of THIS TIME I DANCE!

Product Description

A New Mythology
for the 21st Century

We have known how to fly for centuries...

Long ago, Daedalus invented wings, showing us that it could be done. He made two pair of them, one for himself and one for his son. It was a truly wonderful gift.

The old legend tells of a father and son flying together, out over the sea on a beautiful warm day long ago, and of a story of loss that Deadalus told when he finished the flight. We seem to have collectively decided to stay on the ground ever since, but why? There was so much more to the story that Daedalus did not tell.

Daedalus Rising completes the myth, telling The True Story of Icarus and revealing an ancient mystery whose time has finally come.

Daedalus Rising brings to light what really happened in the sky that day, recasting and recreating the meaning of an old myth through the telling of the story of a son's quest and of the father who cared deeply about him.

It is a story of initiation and growth, and of the power of wings.

With hypnotism and ease, Robert Case teaches us to dream, fly, and explore, and become more of who we are meant to be. Through his sweet and powerful story telling, Case stirs the ancient dreams within each of us, and invites us to reconsider the truth, the myth, and the power of our lives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Daedfalus for the 21st Century, February 24, 2009
Loved Robert's interpretation. It made a lot more sense to me, plus being more positive than the original. It passed the test of a good story in that I found myself thinking of it for many days afterward.

5.0 out of 5 stars Re-envisioning Being and Becoming, July 18, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Daedalus Rising reads like a memoir of Daedalus' relationship with his emerging self and that of Icarus's emergence as well. It is a relationship that hinges on the belief Daedalus holds in an evolving future of possibility for himself and the faith that his son will lay claim to the possibilites that lead to his becoming his rightful future as well.

Though told in the context of a father son relationship - the story -- re-envisioned as a being and becoming of one's true self -- is applicable to all persons who call themselves human. It is obvious that the author has lived the doubt inherent in such a journey and has penned for all of us -- the hope that ensues when you stay present in the process. Great job Robert --thanks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant read - excellent fiction - true to the myth - yet all new and quite profound., October 16, 2008
Daedalus Rising is a book that you should savor. It is written so elegantly, you'll feel like you're doing something nice yourself while you're reading it - much like getting a massage or relaxing in a hot tub.

It is true to the myth, but also takes you to a deeper level of involvement with both Icarus and Daedalus.

It is well done. I highly recommend this book!
