There is.a grave to fhe west of Telmessos, at Inlice, 20 km.s. from Ferhiye, carved into the rock but Left unfinished, with massive columns and built yn Dorian style. This grave is purported to have been built by Daedalus. That is why it is. Called. the Daedalus monument at inlice. A little further on, a for of rock tombs. are noticed on. a higher, level. The ruins of the city including sarcophagi and the rock-tombs are scattered around

It is believed that Daedalus and his son Icarus took off from a cliff where the Inlice plain joins the sea. Icarus, the son of Daedalus, was a great hunter. One day Icarus asked his father to make him. A pair wings from the feathers of a. large falcon which he. had hunted, this father agreed and: made two pairs. of wings, one for himself and the other for his: son. Thus, the father would I guide the son as they flew. Together, they took off from a high cliff at Dailada, While they were flying over the Fethiye Bay, fhe. twelve islands and the inlice plain, Icarus forgot about hjs. father's warning, "Do not fly too high, the sun would burn your wings and if you fly too low, the salty water would weigh them down." Overexcited, he wanted to get close to the sun. He left his father's side and flew high, so much that he was over the clouds. He even heard the sound of the hoofs of horses drawing the carriage of Apollon. Icarus went beyond the sun and the sun-carriage. However, the gum and the beewax melted with the heat of the sun. The feathers came loose one by one and Icarus fell into the sea.
