Need help please, It's urgent, which quote to support the idea Read the excerpt below from "Icarus" by Jean Lang.
In terror Icarus's father Daedalus watched him, and as Daedalus called to him in a voice of anguished warning that was drowned by the whistling rush of the air currents through the wings of Icarus, and there befell the dreaded thing. It seemed as though the strong wings had begun to lose their power. Like a wounded bird Icarus fluttered, lunged sidewise from the straight, clean line of his flight, recovered himself, and fluttered again. And then, like the bird into whose soft breast the sure hand of a mighty archer has driven an arrow, downwards he fell, turning over and yet turning again, downwards, ever downwards, until he fell with a plunge into the sea that still was radiant in shining emerald and translucent blue.
Then the car of Apollo drove on. His rays had slain one who was too greatly daring, and now they shone on the little white feathers that had fallen from the broken wings and floated on the water like the petals of a torn flower.
Stricken at heart was Daedalus, but there was no time to lament his son’s untimely end, for even now the ships of Minos might be in pursuit. Onward he flew to safety, and in Sicily built a temple to Apollo, and there hung up his wings as a propitiatory offering to the god who had slain his son.
