The Myth of Daedalus and Icarus in Photos

Photo 1: Daedalus and his son Icarus escape imprisonment by using homemade wings.

Photo 2: Daedalus told Icarus to fly a middle course. He warned him that flying too low would soak the wings in sea mist, while flying too high would melt the wax with the sun's heat.

Photo 3: Icarus grew too excited and arrogant. He flew too close to the sun, the wax melted, and he fell into the sea and drowned.

One of those where once you see it..........
