Icarus is from Greek mythology. He was the son of Daedalus, a brilliant inventor, who created the labyrinth that King Minos of Crete imprisoned the Minotaur in. When Daedalus helped Ariadne and Theseus escape, Minos was furious and had Daedalus locked up. He built two sets of wings, for him and his son, and they flew away. But Icarus grew overconfident and flew too close to the sun. The wax holding the feathers on his wings together melted, and he fell to the sea, drowning.
Daedalus
King Minos's daughter, Princess Ariadne of Crete.
The idea came from Daedalus, but it was Ariadne, one of the daughters of Minos, that gave the string to Theseus and instructed him on its use.
In Greek mythology, the person who used the navigation string (Ariadne's thread) to find his way out of the labyrinth after defeating the Minotaur was Theseus.
Well there are some versions of the myth in which Daedalus is actually a Cretan. It wasn't until after the fall of Crete that the Hellenes (mainland Greeks) started making Daedalus an Athenian. In the non-Hellenistic versions of the Icarus myth, it's said that Minos was keeping Daedalus in a tower so that he wouldn't share the secret of the Labyrinth with the world. In this version, Daedalus and his son were kept in a tower. In later versions of the Icarus myth, it's stated that Minos imprisoned Daedalus because he helped Theseus to defeat the Minotaur by giving Ariadne the ball of string and giving him advice on how to navigate the maze. In this version, Daedalus and Icarus were kept in the Labyrinth.
Ariadne ariadne was created in 1763.
