Answer and Explanation:
• In a myth, events occur that cannot happen in real life: In "The Flight of Icarus" we can see many elements that, although they were included in the plot of this myth, would be impossible to happen in the real world. In the myth, Icarus and his father devise an escape plan to escape a minotaur (minotaurs do not exist in the real world). That plan includes the creation of wax wings, which allow Icarus and his father to flee in flight. In the real world this would never happen.
• A mythical character has unusual abilities: Although humans are able to create wax wings, it would be impossible for a person to be able to fly with them. It would also be impossible for anyone to be able to fly close to the sun. However, Icarus has the ability to use his wings to fly to the point of melting his wings in the heat of the sun.
• A myth shows the values of a culture: In myth it was created to show the values adopted in a culture and to present responses to human nature and the natural world. In "The Flight of Icarus" we can see that the Greeks valued the obedience of the children in relation to the parents, since Icarus has a great punishment when he decides to disobey the orders of his father and to fly around the sun.
