The Myth of Daedalus and Icarus - Flight, Hubris, and Tragedy #3718091 (License: Personal Use)

In this vivid illustration, Daedalus, wearing green shorts and feathered wings, flies steadily leftward, looking back in alarm as his son Icarus tumbles downward in a red tunic, his wings melting amid swirling purple smoke and falling feathers. The sky is rendered in soft blues with distant mountain peaks, evoking both wonder and impending doom. The scene captures the pivotal moment when Icarus, defying his father’s warning, flew too close to the sun, causing the wax binding his wings to melt.
