In Greek mythology, what was Daedalus’s son called?

In Greek mythology, Daedalus’s son was called Icarus.

Daedalus was the architect and inventor associated with the Labyrinth, and Icarus was his son in the famous escape story. After Daedalus and Icarus were confined or trapped on Crete, Daedalus made wings from feathers and wax so they could fly away.

Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too high or too low. Icarus ignored the warning and rose too close to the sun, causing the wax to melt. He fell into the sea and drowned. The episode is separate from Theseus’s fight with the Minotaur, but it is closely connected with Daedalus’s Cretan biography.

Ancient authors differ on some geographical details, including the name of the sea or island associated with Icarus’s fall. The central identity is stable: Icarus is Daedalus’s son, while Minos is the Cretan ruler who confined Daedalus.
