Love this twist on the classic Myth. It wasn't Icarus' hubris and overexcitement that killed him. It was the sun shooting fire balls and barreling towards him a high speeds xD
The demise of men because of the questionable wrath of the gods is very classic for an Antiquity tale though! It's a spin on a classic tale, but it still feels authentic! Personally, I love that the sun sounds like he is shooting wet paper through a straw when conducting his divine punishment.
