Daedalus and Icarus Escape
After Icarus and Daedalus were imprisoned in a tower by Minos, Daedalus created artificial wings for them to use in their escape. Daedalus warned his son not to fly to close to the sun because the wings were held together with wax. But Icarus did not listen, so his wings fell apart and he fell into the sea and drowned.
