Raised for most of his life by his father, as a slave to King Minos. Very intelligent, but must hide it most of the time, since his father is afraid of what that would mean. He has always wanted to be free, like the birds he sometimes sees overhead.
His father, Daedalus, taught him a lot
My own version of the myth of Icarus
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
Wings of
Wax
And feathers,
Fixed to his shoulders.
And Icarus's life, it has only just begun
The legend forgets that
He was only a boy
Who wanted to
Fly.
They remember only
The fall.
This is how it feels to take a fall
He wanted to reach
The sun.
Apollus' light.
But it
Burned.
Icarus is flying towards an early grave
He fell.
But before he fell,
Ah, he flew.
He flew.
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
His father could do
Nothing as he
Fell.
But he fell
With a smile
And a laugh.
For he had
Flown.
