Daedali filius qui nimis soli appropinquavit ... (6)
I believe the answer is:
icarus
(Other definitions for icarus that I've seen before include "In Greek myth, he flew tooclose to the sun" , "Ancient Greek who flew so high his wings melted" , "Son of Daedalus, who flew too close to the sun" , "His wings melted when he flew too near the sun" , "One whose wings melted" .)
