The inventor Daedalus was to be punished for betraying King Minos. To escape the king's island, Daedalus created wax wings for himself and his son, Icarus. He warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, because it would melt his wings. Icarus was so excited to be flying and free that he began to fly high in the sky and then low toward the sea. In his excitement, he flew too close to the sun, and his wings melted. He plummeted to the ocean and drowned.

Answer:

C. a lesson about how people should behave

Step-by-step explanation:

C because icarus should've behaved and should've listened to his father daedalus. icarus didn't listen to daedalu's warning about flying, and so icarus flew too close to the sun, which melted his wings and caused icarus to fall and drown in the ocean.

what we can learn from this myth is that we should behave when it comes to our parents because often what they want is the best for us. if we don't listen, we might end up causing ourselves and our parents trouble.
