What is the name of the god that had its wings burnt by the sun?

Answer 1

Not a god, but it was Icarus....In Greek Mythology, he is the son of Daedalus who, in escaping from Crete on artificial wings made for him by his father, flew so close to the sun that the wax with which his wings were fastened melted and he fell into the Sea

Answer 2

Icarus, but he wasn't a god. Acording to Greek mythology he was a prisoner in a tower with his dad (daedilus?), and they made wings out of feathers and wax so they could escape. But Icarus wanted to fly as high as he could, and he got too close to the sun. Wax melted.....
