Icarus and his father, Daedalus, were trapped in a Labyrinth by King Minos in order for helping Theseus escape it. So in order for them to escape said Labyrinth, Daedalus builds him and his son wings made out of wax and feathers. Right before their flight Daedalus warned his son not to fly too high or the sun's heat will melt the wax on the wings. While flying, power, excitement and carelessness overtook Icarus causing him to fly high enough to have his wings melted. The boy fell into the ocean and was drowned.
