Previously, I knew of Icarus as being the boy who got too greedy and flew towards the sun without thinking of the consequences. After, I believe he had good reason to. He had been trapped in Crete for so long, that he was so excited to see the world and all that was of it. Icarus is meant to teach people to be mindful of consequences before you perform any actions, even if it does seem like the best option in the moment. Don't let your greed override your logical side.
