Icarus was a boy who’s father, a master craftsman named Daedalus, created a pair of artificial wings that allowed him to fly. The wings were made of feathers held together by wax, and Daedalus warned him not too fly too close to the sun, lest the wax melt. Icarus flew away from the island of Crete, but ignored his father’s instructions. The wings melted, and Icarus plunged to his death in the sea.
