In Greek mythology, Ikaros is the son of the master craftsman Daedalos. The main story told about Ikaros is his attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. He ignored instructions not to fly too close to the sun, and the melting wax caused him to fall into the sea where he drowned.
Ikaros's father Daedalos, a talented and remarkable Athenian craftsman, built the Labyrinth for King Minos of Crete near his palace at Knossos to imprison the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull monster born of his wife and the Cretan bull. Minos imprisoned Daedalos himself in the labyrinth because he gave Minos' daughter, Ariadne, a clew in order to help Theseus, the enemy of Minos, to survive the Labyrinth and defeat the Minotaur.
Daedalos fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son. Daedalos tried his wings first, but before taking off from the island, warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, nor too close to the sea, but to follow his path of flight. Overcome by the giddiness that flying lent him, Ikaros soared through the sky curiously, but in the process he came too close to the sun, which melted the wax. Ikaros kept flapping his wings but soon realized that he had no feathers left and that he was only flapping his bare arms, and so Icaros fell into the sea in the area which today bears his name, the Icarian Sea near Icaria, an island southwest of Samos.
