In the Greek Mythology, Demeter rides in a car drawn by ?ying dragons. And Homer describes the ?ight Of Hera in her chariot, Iliad V 750; and then there is the legend Of Icarus and his father Daedalus who taught his son the Office Of a fowl, and yet for all his wings the fool was drowned and another legend Of Archytas Of Tarentum, aerias tentasse domos with his invention of a ?ying mechanical bird.
