Tell me the story of Icarus!!!

has a lion family, and she asked me to make mates for the cubs. These are the boys, mates for her cubs Kirza and Sitia, in this pic [link]
^_^ Tristan and Icarus. I usually name cubs names with meanings, but the first boy just looked like a Tristan. And when I added the 'wing' markings on the other, I knew his name had to be Icarus.


If you know your Greek mythology, tell me the story of Icarus in your own words and you'll get a free character in the species of your choice!!

characters are ~caitlin72's. Lineart is mine. Original image belongs to Disney ^-^
