Icarus and the Bird of Peace

the dove has been immortalized as the symbol of purity, grace, and unconditional love. Revered in most world cultures as a harbinger of peace and love, the dove has earned a special place in the human heart.

Icarus:
Son of Daedalus who dared to fly too near the sun on wings of
feathers and wax. Daedalus had been imprisoned by King Minos of
Crete within the walls of his own invention, the Labyrinth. But
the great craftsman's genius would not suffer captivity. He made
two pairs of wings by adhering feathers to a wooden frame with
wax. Giving one pair to his son, he cautioned him that flying too
near the sun would cause the wax to melt. But Icarus became
ecstatic with the ability to fly and forgot his father's warning.
The feathers came loose and Icarus plunged to his death in the
sea.
