Daedalus had two sons: Icarus and Iapyx, along with a nephew named either Talos, Calos, or Perdix. Similarly, his mother was either Alcippe, Iphinoe, Phrasmede or Merope, daughter of King Erechtheus. His father is claimed to be either Eupalamus, Metion, or Palamaon. Family ĭaedalus's parentage was supplied as a later addition, with various authors attributing different parents to him.
