Jacob Peter Gowy's The Fall of Icarus (1635–1637). In Greek mythology, Icarus (/ ˈ ɪ k ə r ə s /; Ancient Greek: Ἴκαρος, romanized: Íkaros, pronounced) was the son of the master craftsman Daedalus, the architect of the labyrinth of Crete.
Seeing Icarus' wings floating, Daedalus wept, cursed his art, and after finding Icarus's body on an island shore buried him there. Then he named the island Icaria in the memory of his child. [41] The southeast end of the Aegean Sea where Icarus fell into the water was also called "Mare Icarium" or the Icarian Sea. [42]

To make sure no one would ever know the secret of who the Minotaur was and how to get out of the Labyrinth (Daedalus knew both of these things), Minos imprisoned Daedalus and his son, Icarus, along with the monster. Daedalus and Icarus flew away on wings Daedalus invented, but Icarus' wings melted because he flew too close to the sun.
