greek mythology flew too close to the sun?
icarus
in 2003, gamespy remarked that the 1986 video game "kid icarus", which had become very popular and then faded to relative obscurity, had followed a trajectory similar to its namesake from greek mythology, icarus, who had escaped imprisonment when his father created wings from feathers and wax, but ignoring his father's advice, icarus flew too close to the sun so that the wax melted and icarus fell to his death in the sea. the same could be said of the sequel, kid icarus: uprising.
