Daedalus Rising
The True Story of IcarusRobert William Case
ISBN: 0-9820838-1-5
A New Mythology
for the 21st Century
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.

It's about fathers...
and sons
and of life lived in self-discovery...
Imagine a story about a father traveling along the path of his own hero's journey, a loving father who understands his son's desire for adventure and independence. Imagine that the true story of Icarus, is also the father's story, and of his search for the highest and best for both of them.
There were always two sets of wings. Both Icarus and
Daedalus had them, and
the True Story of Icarus
is the story of the evolution of their relationship as each one grows into a fuller life.
The son's natural desire for independence and autonomy shines through
Icarus.
And Daedalus,
the father, is charged with the sacred trust of guiding
that youthful energy,
blending the son's desire for independence with his own search for meaning. It is a brand new fable. All of it driven by curiosity, hope and the power of the imagination.
Daedalus Rising completes the old myth, transforming it into a new
mythology for the twenty first
century. It is a novel that affirms life as an adventure, and teaches that wings have always been meant for soaring into the light and
warmth of the sun.
The book celebrates being a man through the commonest of vehicles, the raising of a
child, and demonstrates the values that men all over the world share in common with one another.
It is a wonderful story and this re-telling of the myth leaves you hopeful instead of the original half-myth told to this point in time which left you mournful.
I highly recommend this book for anyone and everyone... Everyone can appreciate it. ~EJ Thornton, author of Angel On Board

The author began this life as Bobby, growing up in the heartland in Akron, Ohio. Quickly adapting into Bob, he remained one, long after graduating from high school in the Spring of 1970. That was a few weeks after and just down the road from the shootings at Kent State University, a shocking event in a tumultuous time which eventually instilled a belief, that the culture he had grown up in, had given up the idea of initiating boys into men, or children into adulthood. A few months after that, while listening to two young folk singers in a college coffee house sing their ballad about Icarus flying too high and falling into the sea, he began collecting the first omens and ideas about the Icarus myth, and wondering if initiation as a ritual began losing ground centuries before, when Icarus first fell into the sea and drowned.
Many changes, experiences and accommodations later, to careers and children and marriages, two beautiful children grew into adults, Robert emerged and it was all the perfect motivation and experience for writing this first book, Daedalus Rising - The true story of Icarus. Looking back there is much to be grateful for, and knowing that the deepest satisfaction and the best memories come from those times when the heart leads, rather than the head.
Robert is blessed with two grown children. He is a storyteller, a husband, an elder, a marathon runner, a dancer, a writer of poetry and fiction, and practices law in Colorado, where he lives with his wife and their Boston Terriers. He has also appeared in the Boulder International Fringe Festival.
