The story of the Boy Who Flew Too Close to the Sun is found in Greek mythology and portrays the tale of Icarus. He is warned by his father, Daedalus, not to fly too high or too low with wax wings that they crafted. Icarus’s disregard for this warning leads to his fall when the sun melts his wings, emphasizing themes of hubris and the consequences of overreaching human ambition. This myth encapsulates the delicate balance between aspiration and recklessness.
