what common threat or theme runs through "Lot's wife" & "The story of Daedalus and Icarus"?

Question

How can the common thread be used to interpret the paintings of Icarus? How does Lot's wife fit in with the theme?

Answer 1

Fire, or heat from the sky killed Lot's wife and Icarus.
Neither obeyed, and thus came to ruin.
Lot told his wife NOT to look back,
The father of Icarus told him not to fly too close to the sun.

Answer 2

The common thread is that both were given warnings, both were told what the outcome would be, but both could not stop themselves from bringing about their own destruction. "Curiosity killed the cat".
