Icarus is a character from Greek mythology, who is the son of  Daedalus. Icarus had wings made of feathers and wax. It is claimed that Icarus attempted to break free from imprisonment by flying close to the sun. However, the heat of the sun melted the wax on his wings, making Icarus fall into a sea and drown.
