Daedalus and his son Icarus built wings out of wax and feathers to escape from Crete where they were imprisoned by King Minos. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun or sea, but Icarus' excitement caused him to ignore the warning and fly too close to the sun, melting his wings and causing him to fall into the sea and die. Daedalus continued on to Sicily in mourning and built a temple to Apollo in honor of his son.
