Icarus' father, Daedalus, a talented craftsman, attempted to escape from his exile in Crete, where he and his son were imprisoned at the hands of King Minos, the king for whom he had built the Labyrinth to imprison the Minotaur!. Daedalus, the master craftsman, was exiled because he gave Minos' Daughter, Ariadne, a clew of string in order to help Theseus survive the Labyrinth!.
Daedalus fashioned a pair of wax wings for himself and his son!. Before they took off from the island, Daedalus warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, nor too close to the sea!. 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!.
Hercules is the Roman name for the mythical Greek hero Heracles, son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmena!. Early Roman sources suggest that the imported Greek hero supplanted a mythic Italian shepherd called "Recaranus" or "Garanus", famous for his strength!. While adopting much of the Greek Heracles' iconography and mythology as his own, Hercules adopted a number of myths and characteristics that were distinctly Roman!.
Icarus insipired Pit!.

Icarus summary: Icarus' father, Daedalus, a talented craftsman, attempted to escape from his exile in Crete, where he and his son were imprisoned at the hands of King Minos, the king for whom he had built the Labyrinth to imprison the Minotaur!. Daedalus, the master craftsman, was exiled because he gave Minos' Daughter, Ariadne, a clew of string in order to help Theseus survive the Labyrinth!.

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!.
Hellenistic writers who provided philosophical underpinnings to the myth also preferred more realistic variants, in which the escape from Crete was actually by boat, provided by Pasipha?, for which Daedalus invented the first sails, to outstrip Minos' pursuing galleys, and that Icarus fell overboard en route to Sicily and drowned!. Heracles (not to be confused with hercules) erected a tomb for him!.
Hercules summary: Zeus, having made Alcmene pregnant with Hercules, proclaimed that the next son born of the house of Perseus would become king!. Hera, Zeus' wife, hearing this, caused Eurystheus to be born two months early as he was of the house of Perseus, while Hercules, also of the house, was three months overdue!. When he found out what had been done, Zeus was furious; however, his rash proclamation still stood!.
In a fit of madness, induced by Hera, Hercules slew his wife, Megara, and their three children!. The fit then receded!. Realizing what he had done, he isolated himself, going into the wilderness and living alone!. He was found (by his cousin Theseus) and convinced to visit the Oracle at Delphi to regain his honor!. The Oracle told him that as a penance he would have to perform a series of twelve tasks, or labors, set by King Eurystheus, the man who had taken Hercules' birthright and the man he hated the most!.
