Because Minos, Daedalus and Icarus are mythological people, no dates are ever given. However, Minos was the last King of Crete that was dominant over Mycenaean Era Athens, which means that Crete began to diminish in power during his rule. Historically, it was during the 15th century BC that the Minoan Civilization began to wane after a series of natural disasters, leading up to a Mycenaean Greek invasion around 1420BC. So it could be assumed that the story took place some time before that, but not long.
A Greek Myth, yes.
Icarus and Daedalus were both mortals King Minos was also a mortal

Daedalus and Icarus were characters of Greek Mythology. Daedalus was the creator of the Labyrinth. Icarus was his son. Minos, King of Crete, captured both Daedalus and Icarus in the Labyrinth. Daedalus invented some bronze wings in the prison to help him and his son escape. They escaped successfully, but Icarus, ignoring his father's warnings, swooped low, touching the sea. So he drowned. Daedalus didn't die, but he lived missing his son every second from then on.
A Greek Myth, yes.
Icarus and Daedalus were both mortals King Minos was also a mortal
I think it would be myth or legend.
The boy is Icarus, in the myth of Daedalus, who is Icarus' father. So yes, it is a Greek Myth as the Greeks held that Daedalus was originally Athenian (though it is now widely believed he was Minoan/Cretan).
The story of Daedalus and Icarus is a famous Greek myth. The author of this myth is unknown, as it has been passed down through oral tradition for centuries before being recorded in written form.
In the myth of Daedalus and Icarus, the characters are Daedalus, an ingenious craftsman and inventor, and his son Icarus. They are imprisoned on the island of Crete and Daedalus creates wings made of feathers and wax for them to escape. Icarus flies too close to the sun, the wax on his wings melts, and he falls into the sea and drowns.
Well there are some versions of the myth in which Daedalus is actually a Cretan. It wasn't until after the fall of Crete that the Hellenes (mainland Greeks) started making Daedalus an Athenian. In the non-Hellenistic versions of the Icarus myth, it's said that Minos was keeping Daedalus in a tower so that he wouldn't share the secret of the Labyrinth with the world. In this version, Daedalus and his son were kept in a tower. In later versions of the Icarus myth, it's stated that Minos imprisoned Daedalus because he helped Theseus to defeat the Minotaur by giving Ariadne the ball of string and giving him advice on how to navigate the maze. In this version, Daedalus and Icarus were kept in the Labyrinth.
Icarus was not a Greek god. He was the son of Daedalus, in the myth, Daedalus and Icarus were forced to flee from the king of Crete, Daedalus crafted wings, made with wax, he warned Icarus not to fly to low or to high. But he did indeed fly to high, the wax melted and he fell into the sea. All in all a sad myth. There was also another story about Daedalus, Talus also referred to as Perdix, his nephew and his apprentice was a threat, he was talented, and in a desperate attempt Daedalus caused him to fall towards the sea, but the goddess Athena saved Talus by turning him into a bird who was able to fly away.
He[Daedalus]made a statue of Icarus to honor his death.
In the story of Daedalus and Icarus, Daedalus is portrayed as a cautious and protective father who warns Icarus not to fly too close to the sun. Despite his warnings, Icarus's disobedience leads to tragedy. Daedalus is ultimately depicted as a grieving and regretful parent.
