Icarus and his father were trying to build a machine
that would let them fly. (I think they were in a prison
or something). Icarus made his wings from birds feathers
and candle wax, shut his dad up (since he was saying
it wasn't a very good idea) and flew out the window.
Successfuly. Maybe even too successfuly. He flew too
close to the sun and the wax melted. He fell to his
oh-so-Greek tragic death...I think.:)
I know this is very un-literary of me, but you should
check out the Cliffs Greek Mythology reference books.
They'll give you a brief outline of the more popular
stories.
