Because he didn't want the wax holding the feathers in place to melt. Which is what happened when Icarus forgot and flew too close to the Sun. The wax melted and the feathers came loose and fell off.
The mythological story of Icarus is that he was the son of Daedalus. His father crafted him a set of wings so he could fly. He was warned to not fly too close to the sun. He ignored the warning and fell out of the sky and into the sea where he drowned.

do not fly too closely to the sun.........
Icarus died near the sun and fell into the sea. He was trying to escape and he flew too close to the sun.
The feathers of his artificial wings were held together by wax, which would melt if Icarus came to close to the sun.
Don't fly too close to the sun, a metaphor for "Don't allow ambition to get away with you."Obey your parents. Icarus' father had warned him not to fly too close to the sun.
Icarus flew using the wax and feather wings his father made him. He died by flying to close close to the sun. The sun melted the wax off and Icarus fell to his death and drowned.
Icarus actually did not make anything to reach the sun. His father, Daedalus, made two pairs of wings for them to fly with. Unfortunately, Icarus did not listen to his father's warnings and drowned over the crossing.
Icarus is remembered for his attempt to escape Crete using wings made of feathers and wax, despite being warned not to fly too close to the sun. He ignored the warning, causing the wax to melt and him to fall to his death in the sea. This cautionary tale is often used to illustrate the consequences of hubris and not heeding advice.

Icarus tried to fly with wax wings. As he neared the sun his wax wings melted. I couldn't tell you the moral of the story.
