Daedalus wasn't just a character in a story. In all likelihood, he was based on a real person. Additionally, the story was to establish a moral guideline. It taught the power of Athenian ingenuity and that you should always listen to your father. So as such, Daedalus wasn't built with character flaws.
Yes, even if he warned his son about the tragedy that may happen if he ignored his advice, Icarus is still his son and his conscience will say that in the first place he must never create wings so that his son will not die.
The essential theme, at it's basest form, is that children should always listen to their parents, even if they are adults. To sum it up in a single word: obedience. It seems like a severe story to present what should be such a simple theme, but that's very common, especially in children's stories.
Daedalus, the legendary architect and inventor at the court of King Minos of Crete, was tasked with the construction of a vast, subterranean Labyrinth. The King ordered the maze built to secrete away the monstrous Minotaur, the offspring of Minos' wife and a magical, libidinous bull. When his project was complete, Daedalus found that the disloyal Minos had decided to trap him inside the Labyrinth, so that he could never reveal the secrets of the place.Being a clever and imaginative sort of legendary figure, Daedalus concocted a plan to escape from the prison of his own design by fashioning wings out of birds' feathers and wax. He made one pair of wings for himself and one for his son, Icarus, issuing the ominous warning that Icarus should not fly too close to the sun for fear of melting the wax which held the wings together. And naturally, this being ancient Greek folklore, Icarus ignored the warnings of his father and flew as high as possible, melting the wax on his wings and plummeting to the earth like a leaden amphora.Thus, Daedalus gave us both a thrilling story of a cunningly resourceful (albeit improbable) escape from hostile territory and the world's most hackneyed metaphor for overreaching ambition.
Icarus forgot the warning because he was filled with excitement and pride, wanting to fly higher and closer to the sun despite his father Daedalus' instructions. His youthful exuberance and desire to experience something extraordinary led him to ignore the dangers associated with flying too close to the sun.
I believe you are referring to Icarus. You should read up on him.
