Icarus was the son of Daedalus who built the labyrinth to keep the Minotaur in,
they were both prisoners of King Minos in Crete
They wanted to escape and go back to Greece, so Daedalus built them wings with wax and feathers, he told his son not to fly too high cause the wax may melt but the son didn't listen to this piece of advice, flew too high, the sun made the wax melt and the wings fell apart, the son fell in the sea and died.
