But he did indeed fly to high, the wax melted and he fell into the sea. All in all a sad myth.

What is the story of Icarus son of Daedalus in Greek Mythology?

Both Icarus and Daedalus were imprisoned by King Minos of Crete. Daedalus was a great inventor and he made 2 pairs of wings that could be attached to their backs with wax so they could fly away from the window of their prison. He warned Icarus not to fly too high or too low, as the sun would melt the wax and the sea water they flew over would crack it, but the feeling of flying made Icarus careless and he flew too close to the sun, feeling like a god. His father told him to be sensible but he didn't listen and the wax melted, and Icarus plummeted to his death in the sea.


Why are Daedalus and icarus famous?

Icarus didn't listen, and ended up plummeting into the Iccarian Sea.

It wasn't it a mythical creature it was a human. Daedalus's son was too cocky and flew too close to the sun. The sun melted the glue on his feathers and he crashed into the sea. (Daedalus specifically told his son not to fly too high or too low. Look where that got him.) {Daedalus was trying to escape prison}

Why is Icarus special?

Icarus was the son of Daedalus. He was best known for attempting to escape with his father, who had fashioned them wings. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, but in his excitement, Icarus did. The sun melted the wax attaching the wings to his back, and Icarus fell to his death. Now, the sea in which he fell into is called the Icarian sea.


How does the myth of Daedalus explain the expression flying too close to the sun?

It's not the myth of JUST Daedalus, it's the myth of Daedalus and Icarus. Icarus was Daedalus' son, and after the master engineer designed the wings, which were held together with wax, he warned his son not to fly to low (as the spray from the water would weigh down the wings) and not to fly too high (as the heat from the sun would melt the wax and the wings would fall apart). Of course, the idiot boy ignored his father, and depending on which myth you find, he either flew too low and fell into the sea, or flew too high and.. fell into the sea.

Who flew too close to the sun?

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.


What was the warning given to icarus?

He warns his son not to get too high for being so close to the sun would melt the wax holding the wings together, and not to get to close to the sea, so the sea spray would wet the feather and weigh the wings down. It depends on which version of the myth you read as to which of those Icarus ignores.
