Myth Of Icarus

Icarus (Greek: Ἴκαρος, Latin: Íkaros, Etruscan: Vicare) is a character in Greek Mythology. Icarus's father, Daedalus attempted to escape his prison, the Labyrinth, in which he was imprisoned at the hands of King Minos, the king for whom he had built the Labyrinth (Labyrinth is derived from the Minoans word for a ceremonial axe). The Labyrinth's original purpose was intended to hold the horrible creature, the Minotaur, a beast that was a product of one of the King's mistress's affairs with a bull. The Minotaur was born to King Minos and his wife instead of a son because the Gods were mad at them. As the Minotaur grew up it became violent and dangerous, so they had to imprison it in the Labyrinth. Daedalus fashioned a pair of wings for himself and his son, made of feathers and wax. Before they took off from the prison, Daedalus warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, as the wax would melt, nor too close to the sea, as the wax would dampen. Overcome by the sublime feeling that flying gave him, Icarus soared through the sky joyfully, but in the process he came too close to the sun, which melted his wings. Icarus kept flapping his wings but soon realized that he had no feathers left and that he was only flapping his bare arms. And so, Icarus fell into the sea in the area which bears his name, the Icarian Sea near Icaria, an island southwest of Samos

omg I heard about this. It was sad

[Sims2BestPlayer]

(Quote) said the Third wisest. (Quote, by fourth wisest. The movie does not say 'Fourth wisest') (Quote by fifth wisest, also does not say who says this) (Quote by sixth wisest, again does not say). And after many other attempts, Icarus was determined to shake off his neighbors, the ones who said his dream would never come true. And all of a sudden, a miracle happened.

(I cant translate the mourning and man)

The End!

Ill try to translate:

There was an Idiot named Icarus. All of his neighbors, who were intellegent people, already found their place in the world, and they lived happily. But Icarus was a troublemaker. When Icarus fell, the intellegent people started thinking, and the smartest one said, (quote, I am so sorry I cant translate those!). And thats how the first (grave?) was born. (Quote), said the second wisest. The world got yet another grave. Continued on next post.
