Icarus (mythology)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Icarus was a boy in Greek legends. His father made him waxen wings. When Icarus flew too near to the sun, his wings melted. His father watched as he died. (BFA: The Foe from the Future) His death was said to have occurred due to badly applied science. The term icaron was coined from this interpretation (NA: Original Sin)
