Icarus was the son of master craftsman Daedalus, the creator of the Labyrinth. Icarus attempts to escape from Crete on wings his father constructed from feathers and wax. His father tells him not to fly too low, the sea’s dampness would hinder flight and not to fly too high or the sun’s heat would melt them. The Greek tale sparked the idiom “Don’t fly too close to the sun.” The wings are separate from the body allowing for your personal preference on placement.
