- 1伊卡洛斯（希臘神話裡的人名）
In old Greek stories, Icarus is a young man, the son of a clever maker named . They were trapped on the island of . made two pairs of wings and stuck the feathers with wax, so they could fly away. He warned Icarus: do not fly too low, or the sea will wet the wings; do not fly too high, or the sun will melt the wax. Icarus felt so free in the air that he flew higher and higher, too close to the sun. The wax melted, the wings fell apart, and he dropped into the sea and died. People still tell this story. When someone says a person “flew too close to the sun,” they mean that person was too proud or too daring, and it ended badly. Icarus is a name, not a common noun. You will meet it in books, art, and that saying more than in everyday chat.
組成From Latin Īcarus, from Ancient Greek Ἴκαρος (Íkaros). It is a name; it does not split into English pieces.
