Little Icarus

Greek Legend

Little Icarus is based on the Greek legend Icarus, who with his Father Daedalus built wings from feathers and wax to escape from Crete. Icarus was warned that flying too close to the sea would clog the wings and flying too close to the sun would melt the wax. Icarus ignored the advice and flew too close to the sun where the wax melted and Icarus fell too his death into the sea.
