About this story
伊卡洛斯的故事最有名的版本出自古罗马诗人奥维德的《变形记》第八卷(约公元 8 年完成)。代达罗斯是传说中最巧的工匠,曾为克里特国王米诺斯建造关住米诺陶洛斯的迷宫;他想逃离克里特回家,便用羽毛和蜂蜡为自己和儿子做了翅膀。这一版保留了原诗里“在中间飞”的叮嘱、伊卡洛斯玩蜂蜡和地上的人把他们当成神的细节,把坠海写得温和,适合孩子听。
What it teaches
伊卡洛斯不是坏孩子,他只是太得意、忘了爸爸的叮嘱。故事提醒我们:再好的本事也有边界,听得进劝告、懂得“不过头”,才能飞得远。

Tips for telling it
- 飞上天那一段可以越讲越轻快,羽毛松开时突然放慢,让孩子感受到情绪的转折。
- 讲完可以问孩子:爸爸为什么说“不能太高也不能太低”?生活里还有哪些事也要“刚刚好”?
- 想接着讲,可以听《忒修斯与米诺陶洛斯》,代达罗斯造的那座迷宫就在那个故事里。
Questions people ask
- 伊卡洛斯的故事寓意是什么?
- 最常见的理解是:不要骄傲自满、得意忘形,要懂得节制,听从有经验的人的劝告。英语里常说的“飞得离太阳太近”(fly too close to the sun),就是用来形容野心太大、不顾风险。
- 伊卡洛斯的故事出自哪里?
- 最完整、最有名的版本出自古罗马诗人奥维德的《变形记》第八卷;古希腊作者阿波罗多洛斯的《书库》等文献里也有记载。
- 伊卡洛斯的翅膀是用什么做的?
- 按奥维德的描写,代达罗斯把羽毛按长短排好,中间用线缝住,根部用蜂蜡粘牢,再弯成鸟翅的弧度。伊卡洛斯飞得离太阳太近,蜂蜡被晒化,羽毛脱落,他就掉进了海里。
