Comments:
Icarus - in Greek mythology, the son of Daedalus, who invented wings with which they escaped from the labyrinth in which they were imprisoned. Icarus was so excited about flying that he ignored his father’s warning not to approach the sun. Flying close to the sun, the wax that connected the feathers melted, and he fell into the sea and drowned.
