Why icarus ignores his fathers warning?

1 Answer

Answer :

The story is a fable/myth. But in real life, teenagers and young male adults rarely listen to advice given by their 'fuddy-duddy, silly old man!' (old man being the father). Icarus was probably caught up in the excitement of flying like a bird. And, as most young adults believe, he thought he was invincible.
