Detailed explanation-1: -Why did Daedalus have “misgivings” while watching Icarus fly? He thought that Icarus would be too bold and reckless.
Detailed explanation-2: -To escape, Daedalus – a master craftsman – created two sets of wings made of wax and feathers. He warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, as the wax would melt. He also cautioned Icarus not to fly too low, as the feathers could get wet in the sea.
Detailed explanation-3: -Just before their flight, Daedalus warned his son to be careful. If he flew too low, his wings would get wet in the ocean; if he flew too high, the sun would melt the wax and the wings would disintegrate.
Detailed explanation-4: -Overcome by the giddiness that flying lent him, Icarus soared into the sky, but in the process, he came too close to the sun, which due to the heat melted the wax.
