Well, he's just a mortal. Not the "mortal of" anything. Icarus was Daedalus' son. Icarus is known for flying too close to the sun, which Daedalus instructed him not to do. The wax wings he was flying with eventually melted and Icarus Drowned.
The story of Daedalus and Icarus follows a father and son who attempt to escape their imprisonment by flying away. Daedalus crafts wings made of feathers and wax for himself and Icarus, warning his son not to fly too close to the sun. However, Icarus becomes enthralled with the sensation of flying and soars too high, causing the wax to melt and him to fall into the sea.
That would probably be the moment when Icarus started flying closer to the sun.

The story of icarus only has two characters in it. They are banished to an island, so it is just father and son. Icarus is the son, and the father's name is daedalus. You can find this text to the story online if you search it. It is about icarus flying with wax wings too close to the son, because he did not heed his father's warning.
Daedalus is not responsible for Icarus` death. He warned his son not to go to close to the sun when flying. But Icarus refused to listen. His doom was death.
No one killed Icarus. Daedalus made wings out of birds feathers and wax so they can escape the labyrinth by flying away. Daedalus had told Icarus not to fly so high to the sum or the wax would melt and he would fall. Soon they started flying. Icarus was having so much fun that he forgot about what his father told him. He went too close to the su and the wax melted so he fell into the sea.
The lesson wasn't about flying. Icarus isn't dead because he flew. He died because he didn't listen to his father's advice. So, the story is about the dangers of hubris, and the need to heed those who know more than you, particularly your parents.
Icarus was best known for being the son of the architect and brilliant inventor, Daedalus, in Greek mythology. He was known for flying too close to the sun when escaping with his father, melting the wings on his back so that he plummeted to the ground.
