Icarus Odyssey Mac OS
In Greek mythology, Icarus (/ˈɪkərəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἴκαρος, romanized: Íkaros, pronounced [ǐːkaros]) was the son of the master craftsmanDaedalus, the creator of the Labyrinth. Icarus and Daedalus attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that Daedalus constructed from feathers and wax. Daedalus warns Icarus first of complacency and then of hubris, instructing him to fly neither too low nor too high, lest the sea's dampness clog his wings or the sun's heat melt them. Icarus ignores Daedalus’s instructions not to fly too close to the sun. The wax in Icarus’s wings melts. He tumbles out of the sky, falls into the sea, and drowns. Thus sparking the idiom, 'don't fly too close to the sun'.

The Greek Ἴκαρος is more directly transliterated into English as Ikaros. In Latin, the name becomes Icarus ([ˈiːkarʊs]); by convention it is the Latin name that is most often used in English. The Greek name is thought to have come from an earlier *Ϝίκαρος (Wī́karos); this would be reflected in Icarus' Etruscan name, Vikare.[1]
The legend[edit]
Icarus's father Daedalus, a very talented and remarkable Athenian craftsman, built the Labyrinth for King Minos of Crete near his palace at Knossos to imprison the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull monster born of his wife and the Cretan bull. Minos imprisoned Daedalus himself in the labyrinth because he gave Minos's daughter, Ariadne, a clew[2] (or ball of string) in order to help Theseus, the enemy of Minos, to survive the Labyrinth and defeat the Minotaur.
Daedalus fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son. Daedalus tried his wings first, but before trying to escape the island, he warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, nor too close to the sea, but to follow his path of flight. Overcome by the giddiness that flying lent him, Icarus soared into the sky, but in the process, he came too close to the sun, which due to the heat melted the wax. Icarus kept flapping his wings but soon realized that he had no feathers left and that he was only flapping his featherless arms, and so Icarus fell into the sea and drowned. Daedalus wept for his son and called the nearest land Icaria, an island southwest of Samos, in memory of him. Today, the location of his burial on the island bears his name, and the sea near Icaria in which he drowned is called the Icarian Sea.[3][4][5]
Hellenistic writers give euhemerising variants in which the escape from Crete was actually by boat, provided by Pasiphaë, for which Daedalus invented the first sails, to outstrip Minos' pursuing galleys, and that Icarus fell overboard en route to Sicily and drowned. Heracles erected a tomb for him.[6][7]
Classical literature[edit]
Icarus' flight was often alluded to by Greek poets in passing, but the story was told briefly in Pseudo-Apollodorus.[8] In the literature of ancient Rome, the myth was of interest to Augustan writers. Hyginus narrates it in Fabula 40, beginning with the bovine love affair of Pasiphaë, daughter of the Sun, resulting in the birth of the Minotaur. Ovid narrates the story of Icarus at some length in the Metamorphoses (viii.183–235), and refers to it elsewhere.[9]
Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern literature[edit]
Ovid's treatment of the Icarus myth and its connection with that of Phaethon influenced the mythological tradition in English literature[11] as received and interpreted by major writers including Chaucer,[12]Marlowe,[13]Shakespeare,[14]Milton,[15] and Joyce.[16]
In Renaissance iconography, the significance of Icarus depends on context: in the Orion Fountain at Messina, he is one of many figures associated with water; but he is also shown on the Bankruptcy Court of the Amsterdam Town Hall – where he symbolizes high-flying ambition.[17]The 16th-century painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, traditionally but perhaps erroneously attributed to Pieter Bruegel the Elder, was the inspiration for two of the 20th century's most notable ecphrastic English-language poems, 'Musée des Beaux Arts' by W. H. Auden and 'Landscape with the Fall of Icarus' by William Carlos Williams. Other English-language poems referencing the Icarus myth are 'To a Friend Whose Work Has Come to Triumph' by Anne Sexton; 'Icarus Again' by Alan Devenish; 'Mrs Icarus' by Carol Ann Duffy; 'Failing and Flying' by Jack Gilbert; 'It Should Have Been Winter' by Nancy Chen Long; 'Icarus Burning' and 'Icarus Redux' in Hiromi Yoshida's Icarus Burning chapbook; and 'Up like Icarus' by syllabic poet Mark Antony Owen. The Norwegian Axel Jensen used Icarus as a metaphor for troubled modern young men, in the 1957 novel Icarus: A Young Man in Sahara.
Interpretation[edit]
Literary interpretation has found in the myth the structure and consequence of personal over-ambition.[18] An Icarus-related study of the Daedalus myth was published by the French hellenistFrançoise Frontisi-Ducroux.[19] In psychology there have been synthetic studies of the Icarus complex with respect to the alleged relationship between fascination for fire, enuresis, high ambition, and ascensionism.[20] In the psychiatric mind features of disease were perceived in the shape of the pendulous emotional ecstatic-high and depressive-low of bipolar disorder. Henry Murray having proposed the term Icarus complex, apparently found symptoms particularly in mania where a person is fond of heights, fascinated by both fire and water, narcissistic and observed with fantastical or far-fetched imaginary cognition.[21][22]Seth Godin's 2012 The Icarus Deception points to the historical change in how Western culture both propagated and interpreted the Icarus myth arguing that 'we tend to forget that Icarus was also warned not to fly too low, because seawater would ruin the lift in his wings. Flying too low is even more dangerous than flying too high, because it feels deceptively safe.'[23]
