"So he made himself and Icarus a pair of wings each, to strap on their arms. The big quills he threaded to a frame; but the smaller feathers were held together by bees-wax" (Graves 55 & 56).
"Having helped Icarus on with his pair of wings, Daedalus warned him: 'Be careful not to fly too low, my boy, for fear of the sea spray; or too high, for fear of the sun'" (56).
"Daedalus flew off, Icarus followed" (56).
"Icarus followed; but presently soared so near the sun that the wax melted and the feathers came unstuck" (56).
"Icarus lost height, fell into the sea, and drowned" (56).
"Daedalus buried his son's body on a small island, later called Icaria, where the sea had washed it up" (56).
