I think that Icarus has an undeserved bad reputation. He
really didn’t do anything wrong.
Well, he did a lot that was wrong, but it wasn’t his fault.
He was just an idiot teenager.
Firstly, who makes wings out of wax? Who trusts wax to be a
sturdy material for construction? It’s wax! Its main function is to melt. Why
would you build something from wax?
Secondly, what kind of father gives his son a pair of wings?
Of course he’s going to fly too close to the sun. What else did you expect? He
wasn’t going to sit at home, treasure the wings for their value, maybe wash
them on the weekends and be responsible.
Give a kid a pair of flashy wings and he’s going to show
off.
Wow, we don’t learn much, do we? We have lots of stories
about learning things, but we don’t actually take them to hear, it seems.
