I to Iolaos Iole to Ixion

IkarusIcarus

The son of the legendary craftsman, Daedalus.

Ikarus was killed while he and his father were trying to flee king Minos of the island of Crete; Daedalus was a clever inventor and made wings for himself and Ikarus; when they attempted to fly away, Ikarus flew too close to Helios (the Sun) and the wax that held his wings together melted and he plunged to his death in the sea.
