In an attempt to escape from a tower, I created some wings for myself and my son by tying feathers together, using thread and wax. I warned my son not to fly too close to the sun because the heat would melt the wax. But would he listen? No. He flew very high, the sun softened the wax that held the feathers together, and so they came off. My son fell into the sea. Though extremely sad, I flew on to land safely. I later built a temple to Apollo and hung up what was left of my son’s wings as an offering to the god. Who are we?

A. Eurydice and Orpheus

B. Persephone and Demeter

C. Daedalus and Icarus
