The theme in The Flight of Icarus is Listen to your elders. Daedalus informed Icarus not to fly too close to the sun.
it is a greek myth story
When I read the story in the springboard book at school it was called Icarus and Daedalus but i think its the same story anyways the setting was the island of Crete.
Daedulus, Icarus, king minos, talus, pasiphe, minotour, thesus, adriane, king cocalus, and king cocalus' daughter

That Icarus was triumphant in his flight even though he drowned.
