Best Answer

Icarus, the son of Daedalus, flew too near the sun and his wings melted.

Phaeton, the son of Helios, also flew to close to the sun while driving his father's chariot.

Icarus is the more popular story though.

Icarus, son of Daedalus. To escape imprisonment, Daedalus made two sets of wings out of feathers and wax. When Icarus didn't head his father's warnings and flew too high, the sun's heat melted the wax and he fell to hid death.
Icarus did.

That would be the story of Icarus and Daedalus. They were trapped in the king's labyrinth, and Daedalus crafted wings out of seagull feathers. Daedalus warned Icarus that he shouldn't fly too low or too high, but Icarus did not listen. He flew up so high that the sun melted the wax on his wings and he crashed into the sea.
