Icarus was the son of Daedalus, and father and son were imprisoned by King Minos following Theseus' killing of the Minotaur.
Daedalus came up with a method of escape for Icarus and himself, and with wings attached, they flew from the island of Crete. Icarus was warned about the dangers of the sun on the wax that held the feathers together, but Icarus flew too close to the sun, resulting in Icarus falling to his death.
