Icarus was imprisoned in the Labyrinth and later flew too close to the sun so his wings melted and he fell in the sea

[MarkRae]

King Minos of Crete imprisoned Daedalus and Icarus in the Labyrinth to punish Daedalus for helping the hero Theseus to kill the monster.

They escaped using hand-made wings but flew too close to the sun causing the wax with which the wings were made to melt, causing them to fall into the sea.
