“… when the boy began to delight in his daring flight, and abandoning his guide, drawn by desire for the heavens, [he] soared higher. His nearness to the devouring sun softened the fragrant wax that held the wings: and the wax melted: he flailed with bare arms, but losing his oar-like wings, could not ride the air. Even as his mouth was crying his father’s name, it vanished into the dark blue sea.” — Ovid, tr. Kline
