People today may refer to someone who flew too close to the sun as a cautionary tale what does this expression have to do with myth of icaras

Icarus wanted to fly higher, but he was not cautious or heeded the advice of the wise. This mistake ended all his dreams.

Explanation:

In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of Daedalus, one of the most creative and skillful men in Athens, known for his inventions and the perfection of his craftsmanship, symbolizing human ingenuity.

Daedalus projected wings, gathering feathers of birds of various sizes, tying them with threads and fixing them with wax so that they would not peel off. It was molding with the hands, so that these wings became perfect like those of the birds.

When the work was done, the artist, flapping his wings, found himself suspended in the air. Equipped Icarus and taught him how to fly. Then, before the final flight, he warned his son that they should fly at a medium height, not so close to the sun, so that the heat would not melt the wax that stuck the feathers, nor so low that the sea could wet them.

They first felt like gods who had mastered the air element. Icarus was dazzled by the beautiful image of the sun and, feeling attracted, flew toward him, forgetting his father's advices. The wax of his wings quickly began to melt and soon Icarus fell into the sea.
