He flies to close to the sun, and the wax attached to the wings melts, and he falls to the ground.
Icarus was born in Crete and his father was a legendary inventor.

Actually, it was Icarus' father, Daedalus, who was summoned to Crete to deal with the Minotaur. Icarus just came with him.
Crete
No; with a Crete Women/Naucrate he had Icarus and Iapyx.
Icarus is known for his ambition and tenacity in pursuing his goals. He is also remembered for his courage and willingness to take risks, as seen in his daring attempt to escape from Crete by flying with wings made of feathers and wax. Additionally, Icarus serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the consequences of hubris and recklessness.
Icarus and his father Daelalus were from Athens, but later imprisoned in King Minos's Labyrinth on Crete for displeasing the King.
Icarus is a part of Greek Mythology. Icarus tried to escape from Crete with wings made of wax from his father. Icarus didnÍt hollow his fatherÍs instruction to not fly close to the sun and when he did his wings melted and he fell in to the sea and drowned.
Daedalus planned to escape from the island of Crete by constructing wings made from feathers and wax for himself and his son, Icarus. He believed that flying would allow them to evade capture by King Minos. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too high to avoid the sun melting the wax, but Icarus, in his excitement, ignored the warning and tragically fell into the sea. Their escape demonstrated Daedalus's ingenuity and the dangers of hubris.
Icarus is not a God. He was a mortal, who along with his father, tried to escape from Crete with the use of Wax wings. Icarus flew to close to the sun, and his wings melted, I believe. He fell to his death.
Daedalus and Icarus sought freedom from their confinement on the island of Crete, where they were trapped by King Minos. Daedalus, a skilled craftsman, designed wings made of feathers and wax to escape. Icarus, eager to fly, desired to soar high, but he disregarded his father's warnings about flying too close to the sun. Ultimately, their quest for freedom led to tragedy when Icarus's wings melted, causing him to fall into the sea.
Yes, they were. At the palace of Cnossos on Crete.
