Daedalus in Crete

Daedalus in Crete (Δαίδαλος στην Κρήτη) is a play by the Greek lyric poet and playwright Angelos Sikelianos entirely written and published at the journal Nea Estia (written in 1942 and published in 1943, which makes it the second tragedy of Sikelianos given to the public, as its publication precedes “Sibylla” which may have been written earlier but was published at the end of the Occupation), during the Axis occupation of Greece. This event may be linked to trump the planned and announced project - not completed - on behalf of Sikelianos, to write the tragedies "Daedalus in Sicily" and "Ariadne".
