One who flew too close to the sun? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

icarus

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">one who flew too close to the sun</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for icarus that I've seen before include "High-flyer in Greek mythology" , "made a dangerous flight" , "Excessively high flier" , "Ancient Greek who flew too close to the sun" , "Daedalus's son" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
