I think it would be myth or legend.
The boy is Icarus, in the myth of Daedalus, who is Icarus' father. So yes, it is a Greek Myth as the Greeks held that Daedalus was originally Athenian (though it is now widely believed he was Minoan/Cretan).
The story of Daedalus and Icarus is a famous Greek myth. The author of this myth is unknown, as it has been passed down through oral tradition for centuries before being recorded in written form.
In the myth of Daedalus and Icarus, the characters are Daedalus, an ingenious craftsman and inventor, and his son Icarus. They are imprisoned on the island of Crete and Daedalus creates wings made of feathers and wax for them to escape. Icarus flies too close to the sun, the wax on his wings melts, and he falls into the sea and drowns.
Daedalus is the father of Icaurs. Icarus in Greek mythology was to escape the Crete by the means of wings his father Daedalus created with feathers and wax.
In the Greek myth of Icarus, the main characters were Icarus himself and his father, Daedalus. Daedalus was a skilled craftsman who created wings made of feathers and wax for himself and his son to escape from Crete. Icarus ignored his father's warnings and flew too close to the sun, causing his wings to melt and him to fall into the sea.
The first known mention of flight in Greek literature can be found in the myth of Daedalus and Icarus. Daedalus created wings made of feathers and wax for himself and his son, Icarus, to escape from Crete. However, when Icarus flew too close to the sun, the wax on his wings melted, and he fell into the sea.
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.
Icarus was the son of Daedalus in Greek mythology. They wanted to escape from King Minos and the Labyrinth (which Daedalus created). Looking to the skies, Daedalus created wings that could be attached to their backs with wax. He warned his son, Icarus, not to fly too close to the sun or his wings would melt and he would fall. Icarus did it anyways, and fell to his death.
He[Daedalus]made a statue of Icarus to honor his death.
