ㅤㅤTo escape from the island of Crete from the irritated Minos, master Daedalus made wings for himself and his son Icarus, fastened with wax, and Daedalus asked: "Do not rise too high; the sun will melt the wax. Don't fly too low; the sea water will get on the feathers and they will get wet."

ㅤBut already during the flight to Hellas, Icarus was so carried away by flying that he forgot his father's instructions and flew very high, flying too close to the Sun. The rays of the Sun melted the wax, Icarus fell and drowned near the island of Samos in the sea, which received the name Ikarian in this part. His body, washed ashore by the waves, was buried by Hercules on the small island of Dolichus, named Ikaria in his honor.
