    In mythological ancient Greece, Icarus flew above Crete on wings made from wax and feathers, defying the laws of man and nature. To witnesses on the ground, he looked like a god, and he felt like one too. But, in his society, the line that separated god from man was absolute, and the punishment for mortals who attempted to cross it was severe. Amy Adkins explains the myth of Icarus and Daedalus.

    Fun Fact: There is another version of the myth where Daedalus didn't kill his nephew. In this version, his nephew was actually his apprentice and they were both praised in Athens. However, Daedalus' nephew died falling off Acropolis, where he had gone with his uncle to work, by accident and Daedalus was devastated. The Athenians without knowing what actually happened blamed Daedalus for his nephew's death and thus they exiled him to Crete. So in this version, Daedalus is not only not malicious, but even more of a tragic figure since he experiences the death of his beloved apprentices twice in exchange of his skill and freedom. The more you know!

    I think my favorite part of this entire myth is how Daedalus just agreed to help the king's wife seduce the bull. No trying to talk her out of it or trying to convince the king to finally sacrifice the darn thing to appease the God he insulted: he just up and created a hollow wooden cow-puppet for her climb into to.

    In the original telling of the myth by Ovid, the Latin actually refers to the fact that Daedalus wasn't really watching his son fly and wasn't even worried about him. He was watching the wings that Icarus was wearing and marveling at his own genius. (Also sidenote: In the Latin, it's hard to judge how old Icarus is. It's possible that he was as young as 7 or 8 when his dad entrusted him with this immense responsibility.)

      The story of Icarus may be, but the story of Daedalus most certainly isn't. If you've read (or translated) this specific part of the metamorphoses by Ovid, you'll notice that the story isn't about Icarus at all. The kid's death was merely a punishment for Daedalus.

      But the bull was so beautiful, it would be shame to kill it, so the king kept the bull and sacrificed another normal bull instead
      Poseidon then said "If you love that bull so much, how about I make your wife to fall in love with it!!".

    People take this story too literally, it is about not aiming to low in life (flying low, near water) so that a persons mindset does not become increasingly self-disappointed (wings dampening due to flying low), and at such a low state that they can not climb again (wings to heavy), but also not flying to high that when you fail you feel crushed (flying to high - wings melt) and putting you in the water (wings disintegrating = fall into water), the aim is to 'fly' through life at just the right 'height' so you may successfully make it too the other side.
    Just my 2 cents.

    a lot of people see icarus's story as a cautionary one, one that warns you about being consumed by ego but i like to think of it more as a story of passion. here's a poem about it that i found
    I am Icarus
    Many people see my death as a tragedy
    That is very wrong
    In my opinion, they did not tell you when Apollo gave me wings
    They did not tell you I knew I would burn in flames
    I knew, you see I knew the agony I would face
    And as I fell, I knew I did it for the sun
    As hot burning wax slithered down my spine, as seductive kisses of agony peppered my skin and muscle
    I laughed
    I laughed as where I saw beauty others saw pain
    I loved it you see, it was addictive
    And even Dionysus would marvel at my insanity
    There is no beauty without pain
    And now as I wait for judgment in the land of Hades
    I ask myself, was it worth the fall for the sun?
    And I answer yes
    Yes it was

    For any Tolkien fans out there I just had a little epiphany about Gandalf. When he was imprisoned on top of the tower of Orthanc he escaped with the help of the eagles. Does anyone else think this is symbolic of Gandalf's angelic characteristics or is this just a coincidence. My thoughts are that maybe Tolkien got inspiration from the story of Icarus and Daedalus.

      George Frangoudes I think it might be a coincidence. Gandolf didn't distort the world around him (build fake wake wings) he merely called upon the Eagles for help. I think it says a great deal that the eagles were willing to help Gandolf, as opposed to Gandolf taking their feathers to make wings.

      I know Tolkien was mostly inspired by Anglo-Saxon stories, and part of Lord of The Rings was to show that their elements were not inferior to the Greek stories.

      Maybe... but Tolkien was big fan of other mythologies, so maybe not. Gandalf's appearance and his wandering for instance were in part inspired by depictions of Odin, from Norse myth, and his name comes from Norse myth too. ;) Gandalf is literally an angel in Middle Earth though so that's right on point.

      The Rohirrim too were inspired by the vikings. Look at their helmets and weapons. Plus the speeches given by the king was very much like going to Valhalla with death as the main source of motivation,

    I stand on the cliffs with my son next to me
    This island our prison, our home
    And everyday we look out at the sea
    This place is all he's ever known
    But I've got a plan and some wax and some string;
    some feathers I stole from the birds
    We leap from the cliff and we hear the wind
    sing a song that's too perfect for words
    But son, please keep a steady wing
    And know your the only one that means anything to me
    Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea
    Now safely away, I let out a cry
    "We'll make the mainland by noon"
    But Icarus climbs higher still in the sky
    Maybe I've spoken too soon
    Oh son, please keep a steady wing
    And know your the only one that means anything to me
    Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea
    Won't you look at your wings
    They're coming undone
    They're splitting at the seams
    Steer clear of the sun, for once won't you listen to me?
    O, Gods!
    Why is this happening to me?
    All I wanted was a new life for my son to grow up free
    And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me
    I will never fly again, I will hang up my wings
    O, Gods!

    The rest of Daedalus’ story is actually really weird. He pushes his own nephew off a tower and a god turns his nephew into a bird. The bull was actually a gift from Posiden who wanted the king to sacrifice it to him, but the king kept it instead. And the Minotaur was eventually killed by a guy who got out of the labyrinth with a spool of string.

    1. The author wants us to be content with what we have. To be smart and knowledgeable is not enough if we are not content with it.
    2. I learned that I should listen to my parents and their warnings because they want the best for us. Just like how Daedalus warned Icarus but when Icarus didn't listen something bad happened.
    3. I would recommend this work in my younger brother for he doesn't listen to anything my mother was telling him that's why he encountered many accidents at such a young age.
