==Escape from Crete==
[[Image:Bruegel,_Pieter_de_Oude_-_De_val_van_icarus_-_hi_res.jpg|thumb|[[Landscape with the Fall of Icarus]] (c. 1558) by [[Pieter Bruegel the Elder]]]]
[[Image:The Lament For Icarus.jpg|thumb|The Lament For Icarus, by [[Herbert James Draper]] ]]
[[Image:Lord Frederick Leighton FLL006.jpg|thumb|left|upright|''Daedalus and Icarus'', by [[Frederic Leighton, 1st Baron Leighton|Frederick, Lord Leighton]], ca 1869]]
Icarus' father, [[Daedalus]], a talented, remarkable craftsman, attempted to escape from his exile in the place of Crete, where he and his son were imprisoned at the hands of [[Minos|King Minos]], the king for whom he had built the Labyrinth to imprison the [[Minotaur]] (half man, half bull). [[Daedalus]], the superior craftsman, was exiled because he gave [[Minos]]' daughter, [[Ariadne]], a clew<ref>[[wiktionary:clew|clew]] - A ball of yarn or thread. The etymology of the word "[[wiktionary:clue|clue]]" is a direct reference to this story of the Labyrinth.</ref> of string in order to help [[Theseus]], the enemy of Minos, survive the Labyrinth and defeat the [[Minotaur]].


The series focuses on a girl named Carly ([[Miranda Cosgrove|Cosgrove]]) who creates her own [[Internet TV|web show]] called ''iCarly'' with her best friends Sam ([[Jennette McCurdy|McCurdy]]) and Freddie ([[Nathan Kress|Kress]]).
Daedalus fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son. Before they took off from the island, Daedalus warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, nor too close to the sea. Overcome by the giddiness that flying lent him, Icarus soared through the sky curiously, but in the process he came too close to the sun, which melted the wax. Icarus kept flapping his wings but soon realized that he had no feathers left and that he was only flapping his bare arms. And so, Icarus fell into the sea in the area which bears his name, the Icarian Sea near Icaria, an island southwest of Samos.<ref>{{cite book|first = Robert|last = Graves|authorlink = Robert Graves|year = 1955|title = [[The Greek Myths]]|chapter = 92 - Daedalus and Talus}}</ref>


Although [[Nathan Kress]] stated in an interview that they are filming the last season of iCarly this summer,<ref>{{Cite interview
Hellenistic writers who gave philosophical knowledge underpinnings to the myth also preferred more realistic variants, in which the escape from Crete was actually by boat, provided by Pasiphaë, for which Daedalus invented the first sails, to outstrip Minos' pursuing galleys, and that Icarus fell overboard on route to Sicily and drowned. [[Heracles]] erected a tomb for him.<ref>{{cite book|editor = Smith, William|title = A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last = Pinsent|first = J. |year = 1982|title = Greek Mythology|location = New York|publisher = Peter Bedrick Books}}</ref>

{{Main|List of characters from iCarly}}
Icarus' flight was routinely alluded to by Greek poets in passing, but was told in a nutshell in Pseudo-Apollodorus, (''[[Bibliotheke|Epitome'' of the ''Biblioteca]]'') (i.11 and ii.6.3). Latin poets read the myth more philosophically, most of the time linking Icarus analogically to artists.<ref>[[Hyginus]] ''[[Fabulae]]'' 40</ref><ref>[[Ovid]], ''[[Metamorphoses (poem)|Metamorphoses]]'' (viii.183-235), ''[[Art of Love]]''.</ref>

==Worldwide==
==Parallel in Hindu mythology==
''iCarly'' has premiered worldwide as well in the following countries:


{| class="wikitable"
A near parallel to the Icarus story exists in the [[Hindu]] epic [[Ramayana]]. The demi-god [[Jatayu (Ramayana)|Jatayu]] and his brother Sampaati, who had the forms of [[vulture]]s, used to compete as to who could fly higher. On one such instance Jatayu flew so high that he was about to get seared by sun's flames. Sampaati saved his brother by spreading his own wings and thus shielding [[Jatayu (Ramayana)|Jatayu]] from the hot flames.<ref>"[http://www.mythstories.com/rama10A.html To kill a demon]", Museum of myth and fable at the Morgan Library</ref>

==References==
In the process, Sampaati himself got injured and lost his wings. Luckier than Icarus, he did not die a painful death, but had to live wingless for the rest of his life.

The Ramayana is attributed in Hindu tradition to the poet [[Valmiki]] who lived about 444 B.C, and presumably the story of Jatayu and Sampaati existed in earlier versions. Thus, it is roughly contemporary with the story of Icarus. Prior to the time of [[Alexander the Great]] there was hardly any direct contact between Greeks and Indians, but both were in contact with the [[Persian Empire]] and enough trade existed for elements of myth to pass over great distances.
