Icarus.

The figure who famously had wax wings that melted when he flew too close to the sun is Icarus, a character from Greek mythology. He was the son of Daedalus, an inventor who created the wings for them to escape from Crete. Ignoring his father's warning to fly at a moderate height, Icarus flew too high, causing the sun to melt the wax holding his wings together, leading to his fall into the sea. This myth serves as a cautionary tale about hubris and the dangers of overreaching.
