According the the surviving versions of the myth, Icarus was the son of Daedalus, but seems to have been too young to have been from Athens like his father. No mother is ever mentioned, which implies that she wasn't anyone of importance. Still, he would have been from Knossos on Crete.

Earlier versions of Daedalus' story omit Icarus altogether, because in them, Daedalus was Minoan, not Greek, and thus did not need to escape from Crete.
