Extrait du document

(Talos) The nephew and apprentice of the great inventor Daedalus. Talus, who is said to have invented the saw and also the compass, incurred the jealousy of Daedalus, who murdered him. Some stories say that Daedalus threw the boy from the top of the Acropolis and that the gods changed Talus into a partridge ("perdix"). Perdix was a nickname for Talus or his mother, Polycaste, or for both.
