Daedalus fathered Icarus with Naucrate, a slave at Minos's court, according to Apollodorus. He crafted wings for himself and his son to escape Crete, but Icarus flew too close to the sun and fell to his death.
⚠ Apollodorus names Naucrate, a slave of Minos, as Icarus's mother. Other sources (Hyginus, Diodorus) leave her unnamed.
