There are some interesting Parallels here to the story of Buddha Siddhartha - albeit emphasis on different principals - but in reference to the middle way (not flying to high, or too low)
The Buddha realized he could escape Maya illusion or prison of ones own making (ego) through the avoidance of extremes - he coined the realization the middle way - This realization came when he was sitting in meditation and noticed the beautiful distance sound of a sitar resonating across the water - a conversation followed the sound as follows;
Oh master, how does one achieve such a sublime sound when playing his sitar
The master responds;
The secret is within the strings themselves, if the string is to loose, it will make no sound at all, if the string is too tight, the string will snap, the tension must be juuuuust right
Fly to high, the string snaps, your wings melt, fly to low, the strings make no sound at all, your wings become to heavy to fly.
Again, to free yourself from the prison of ones own making (ego, you must understand the middle way.

the moral of that story is good, but thinking of it litterally, daedaluss desicion, though stoopid at the time, made way for great scientific breakthoughs in the future. so I say daedalus was very smart

Except that the higher you go, the colder it is. Of course, we can't expect the guys who said their gods lived in a very climbable mountain, yet never bothered to check to know any better.

Sometimes, I scratch my head thinking about how similar are stories in Greek and hindu mythology. The same story is in ramayan with brother 'jatayu' and 'sampat'.
