Which sea is named after Icarus from Greek mythology?

The sea named after Icarus from Greek mythology is the Icarian Sea.

The Icarian Sea is a part of the Aegean Sea, lying between the Cyclades and the western coast of Anatolia. It includes or borders islands such as Icaria, Samos, Kos, Patmos, Leros and Fournoi. Its name is closely tied to the myth of Icarus, who flew from Crete with his father, Daedalus, using wings made with feathers and wax.

According to the famous story, Icarus flew too close to the Sun. The wax melted, his wings failed and he plunged into the sea. Ancient tradition says the waters were named the Icarian Sea after his fall. Some accounts also connect the name with the island of Icaria, so the exact linguistic origin is not entirely separate from the legend.

The Icarian Sea is not a completely independent ocean basin; it is conventionally treated as a subdivision of the Aegean and, more broadly, the Mediterranean. Ancient writers including Herodotus and Strabo referred to it, showing that the name has been used for many centuries.
