Icarus is a proper noun from Greek mythology, the son of Daedalus who flew too close to the sun with wings made of wax. The term is often used metaphorically to describe overambitious pursuits that end badly. In modern usage, it appears in literature, discourse on hubris, and education to illustrate risk, ambition, and fallibility.
