Daedalus and his son Icarus went to Crete where Daedalus built a labyrinth for King Minos. To escape from Crete, Daedalus crafted wings from feathers and wax for himself and Icarus. While flying, Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, but Icarus disobeyed and the wax in his wings melted, causing him to fall into the sea and drown. The sea where Icarus drowned was named the Icarian Sea after him.
