Ikaros

After his father Daedalus killed Thalos in Athens, they both had to flee to Crete. They did so with the help of the gods. Here they were given asylum, but Daedalus had to create a giant labyrinth for the local king, where the Minotaur - a monster with a human body and the head of a bull - was then hidden.

After completing the labyrinth, Daedalus and Icarus wanted to leave Crete. However, the king prevented them from doing so, so as not to give away the secret of the labyrinth. Thus, there was no other way but to fly through the air. To do this, Daedalus constructed two pairs of wings from bird feathers, which he joined together with wax, and together with Icarus they flew to the clouds. But young Icarus did not heed his father's warning and tried to get as close to the sun as possible. But this proved fatal, for the wax melted and Íkaros perished by falling into the sea.
