Metaphysical

headlong through the air• Athena seen him and

taken pity on him. while he was yet whirling through mid-air she changed him into a partridge.

lesson learnedthis shows that the Gods have feelings for humans and that they reward the people that have done good deads also they look out for them.

Cosmological

Myth• The sun having melted

Icarus' wings• Icarus drowning in the

ocean 

Lesson Learned• This may show that it goes

against nature for humans to fly like birds otherwise they may make a similar mistake like Icarus

Physiological

Myth•  Icarus wanting

to fly as high as the clouds

• Icarus not listening and obeying his father's exact words 

Lesson Learnedthis shows that how much Icarus wanted to fly that he did not listen to his dad and went to close to the sun that the wax melted off of him and that he fell in the ocean. some times we need to listen to what our parents tell us because they always want the best for us.

Sociological

Myth• Daedalus' jealousy toward

Perdix• Minos holding Icarus and

Daedalus prisoner• Poseidon gave MInos bull

as a gift 

Lesson Learned•  this shows that our

emotions and feelings takes over us to the point that we just look out for our benefits
