Icarus
Most probably know the story of Icarus, who according to Greek Mythology attempted to flee the island of Crete by fabricating a set of wings and strapping them to his arms. His flight went ok until he got to close to the sun, at which point the feathers, which where attached to the wings using wax, began to fall out once the wax got too warm and softened.

I don’t think you have to worry about this guy ending up in the Icarian Sea. Beautiful rendition.
