Beyond the achievements of any other mortal, blinded by his love for the sun, Icarus would risk all. Should some frontiers never be reached, as his father Daedalus guided? Reaching out beyond the Gods and the Heavens of Olympus, Was Icarus destined to fall? This work is inspired by the mythological story about Icarus and Daedalus that gave rise to the idiom "Don't fly too close to the sun."
