Icarus is a legendary character from Greek Mythology. According the the myth, his father Daedalus constructed wings for him out of wax and feathers of birds, so that he could escape the land of Crete by flight. His father warned him not to fly too close to the sun, but since he ignored such warnings, his wings melted, and he fell to his death.
Hawkman often said "Great Icarus!" when he was surprised by something.[1]
Also, Miss Caraway owned a statue that resembled Icarus. It was located in her estate.[2]
