The person who flew too close to the sun was Icarus , a figure from Greek mythology. Icarus was the son of Daedalus, a master craftsman who made wings for them out of feathers and wax to escape imprisonment. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun because the heat would melt the wax holding the wings together. However, Icarus ignored this warning, flew higher and higher, and the wax melted, causing him to fall into the sea and drown
. This story is a cautionary tale about recklessness and overambition, giving rise to the idiom "don't fly too close to the sun," symbolizing the dangers of hubris and defying limits
