Ικαρο, or Icarus, is a character from Greek mythology known for his attempt to escape from the island of Crete using wings made of feathers and wax. He was the son of Daedalus, a skilled craftsman who designed the wings to help them flee from captivity. Despite his father's warnings not to fly too close to the sun, Icarus became overconfident and soared higher. The heat melted the wax, causing the wings to disintegrate. As a result, Icarus fell into the sea, which is now called the Icarian Sea in his memory.
