The Fall Of Icarus by Ovid
A skilled inventor and his son escape imprisonment by flying on wings made of feathers and wax, with strict warnings to maintain a careful course between sea and sun. Exhilarated by flight, the son rises too high, the wax melts, and he falls into the sea, leaving his father to mourn. The tale underscores the dangers of hubris and the consequences of ignoring prudent counsel.
