In Greek mythology, Icarus He is the son of the architect Daedalus.
Daedalo it was who built the labyrinth in the palace of Minos. The king minos He imprisoned father and son together, they escaped from the tower but could not leave the island, since King Minos controlled the land and water.
Daedalo He saw that only through the air could they escape, he began to build wings for himself and his son, he built them with small feathers, affirmed with wax, then larger ones, tying them with thread trying to give them curvature like the wings of birds. . Icarus sometimes picked up the feathers from the ground, when Daedalo finished the work, he put on his wings and was able to fly. Seeing that he could fly, he fitted his son's wings, and taught him how to fly. When they were both ready to fly Daedalo he stressed to his son Icarus that he did not fly very high because the sun could melt his feathered and wax wings, nor very low because the foam of the sea would wet his wings and he could not fly. So the two flew away, Icarus felt free dominating everything, he was higher and higher when he was close to the sun, it melted the wax with its rays, so little by little the wings were destroyed. Icarus he moved and moved his arms but there were not enough feathers to support him and he fell into the sea, where he fell, Daedalus named him Icaria in honor of his son. Daedalos arrived in Sicily, under the care of King Cócalo he built a temple to Apollo, where he hung his wings as an offering. There are also other versions of the legend.
