Why are Daedalus and icarus famous?
Daedalus was the inventor of the labyrinth, and was trapped there too. Him and his son, Icarus, escaped, but only reached the edge of the island. To go over the water, Daedalus built wax wings, which he and Icarus would use to fly over the sea. Daedalus told Icarus not to fly to close to the sun, or his wings would melt. Icarus didn't listen, and ended up plummeting into the Iccarian Sea.
How is irony used in the story of Daedalus and icarus?
When Daedalus told Icarus not to fly too high and too close to the sun, we immediately know that Icarus won't listen. Later in the story, Icarus flies too high and too close to the sun. His wings, which were made of wax, melted from the heat. He kept flapping his wings, but when had almost none left, he was left flapping his featherless arms. He soon fell from the sky into the ocean and died. Hope this helps!

What is the problem in Daedalus and Icarus?
Daedalus built a labyrinth for king Minos to trap the Minotaur (a half human and half bull) in it. He built the labyrinth so cunningly that he could not escape after he built it. He made wings so that he and his son Icarus could fly away. He tied feathers with stings and attached them to a base made of war. He warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun because the heat would melt the wax. However, the boy forgot this and begun to fly too high. His father shouted to warn him. However, the heat of the sun softened the wax and the feathers came off. Icarus fell into the sea and drowned.
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.
