The story of Daedalus and Icarus from Greek mythology tells of a skilled inventor, Daedalus, who creates a labyrinth to imprison the Minotaur. To escape captivity, he constructs wings made of feathers and wax for himself and his son, Icarus. Despite his father's warnings to avoid flying too close to the sun, Icarus becomes overconfident and ascends too high, causing the wax in his wings to melt. He falls into the sea and drowns, serving as a cautionary tale about hubris and the consequences of overreaching.
