Mythical flier whose wings melted (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

icarus

(Other definitions for icarus that I've seen before include "Son of Daedalus, who flew too close to the sun" , "Legendary Greek youth who flew too close to the sun and was killed" , "Mythical Greek who flew too close to the sun - oops!" , "he drowned" , "Greek mythical youth who flew too close to the sun" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
