This is a marvelous reworking of the Icarus myth. I love putting on different characters in familiar stories. Great work!

Thank you! Everyone always blames Icarus for the fall, and people say that it's due to overconfidence and arrogance - I thought that given his father, it might have more to do with how much love he had growing up.

Sheer conjecture, of course, but that's what makes myths fun to retell ;)

Very very well done. The story was believable just as if he were telling it.

-grins- that's what I was going for. thanks!

I think it's one of my favorites of the greek myths, actually, and I couldn't resist trying to spin it slightly differently. thanks!

A lovely retelling of the myth.

[talon]

thank you :) I figured it was the sort of obvious route, but at the same time, I wanted to spin it differently. I'm glad to know you liked it!
