The statement "Heed your elders, not your pride" best states one of the themes of the story of "The Myth of Daedalus and Icarus."

A theme of any story or text is the underlying message that the writer wants the readers to get from the story. In other words, we can say the theme is the main idea that the writer deals with in his/her text and can be understood through the characters, dialogues, or setting.

  • In the short story of Daedalus and Icarus, the father-son duo showed how heeding the words of our elders is a good thing to do.
  • In the myth, Daedalus and Icarus were prisoners of King Minos.
  • They tried to escape from their prison on the Island of Crete by making false wings sealed with wax.
  • Daedalus warned his son not to venture too close to the sun or the heat will melt the wax in his feathers and ruin his ability to fly.
  • Icarus did not listen to his father and flew too close to the sun which resulted in the wax melting.
  • This ruined his feathers and he ended up drowning in the ocean.

Through this myth, one theme that we can get is that it is better to heed our elders' words rather than one's pride. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
