Daedalus created wings made from feathers for him and his son Icarus. They flew off to escape the prison. Daedalus warned Icarus that if he flew to high, the seal that he used to keep the feathers together would melt and he would fall, but he forgot his father's warning after he got the thrill of flying. Icarus flew to high and just like his father warned, the wings' wax melted and he fell to his death in the ocean. Daedalus thought the death of his son was a result of defying the god's imprisonment so he took off his wings and never used them again; living alone with the loss of his son.
