Son of Daedalus in Greek mythology (6)
I believe the answer is:
icarus
(Other definitions for icarus that I've seen before include "He flew fatally close to the sun in Greek myth" , "Ill-fated son of Daedalus" , "one on hazardous trip" , "Son of Daedalus, who flew too close to the sun" , "Son of Daedalus whose wings melted fatally" .)
