"Reaching too high can be the cause of your eventual downfall."

The story of Daedalus and Icarus is mostly about Pride and Punishment. Even with the brilliance in your hands can cause you to create different wonders, without the humility of accepting failure, it is possible that you could fall easily. And flying too close to the sun can definitely burn you to the ground.
