Greek mythology from A to Z:
[I] - Icarus was the son of the famous craftsman Daedalus.
Daedalus managed to create two sets of wings for himself and his son, that were made of feathers glued together with wax. He taught Icarus how to fly and warned him not to fly too high, which would cause the wax to melt, nor too low, which would cause the feathers to get wet with sea water. Together, they flew out of the tower towards freedom. However, Icarus soon forgot his father’s warnings, and started flying higher and higher, until the wax started melting under the scorching sun. His wings dissolved and he fell into the sea and drowned.
Norse mythology from A to Z:
[H] - Hel is a giantess and/or goddess who rules over the identically-named Hel, the underworld where many of the dead dwell.
