Icarus was the son of Daedalus. He was best known for attempting to escape with his father, who had fashioned them wings. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, but in his excitement, Icarus did. The sun melted the wax attaching the wings to his back, and Icarus fell to his death. Now, the sea in which he fell into is called the Icarian sea.
He didn't, which is why the wax melted off them and they fell apart, causing Icarus to fall to his death.

In the story of Daedalus and Icarus, Daedalus, a skilled craftsman, was imprisoned in the palace of Minos along with his son Icarus. To escape, Daedalus constructed wings made of feathers and wax for both himself and Icarus. However, despite his father's warnings not to fly too close to the sun, Icarus became overzealous, causing the wax in his wings to melt, leading to his tragic fall into the sea. This tale serves as a cautionary reminder about the dangers of hubris and disobedience.
