Connections to other readings One of the primary(prenominal) connections to other readings I found was the story of Icarus. Icaruss father Daedalus, a bright and remarkable Athenian craftsman. Daedalus fashioned two pairs of wings out of surface and feathers for himself and his son. Daedalus tried his wings first, just before taking off from the island, warned his son not to fly too destruction to the sun, nor too close to the sea, but to follow his path of flight.Overcome by the giddiness that flying lent him, Icarus soared with the sky curiously, but in the process he came too close to the sun, which melted the wax. Icarus kept flapping his wings but soon effected that he had no feathers left and that he was only flapping his black arms, and so Icarus fell into the sea in the area which today bears his name, the Icarian sea near Icaria, an island southwest of Samos.
