Daedalus and his son Icarus were trapped on the island of Crete by the wicked King Minos after they constructed an intricate labyrinth for him. Daedalus devised a plan for them to escape by fashioning wings out of feathers and wax. However, during their flight, Icarus disobeyed his father's warning not to fly too close to the sun, causing his wings to melt and him to fall into the sea below, where he drowned.
