She's got one brother that per the story, sounds like he married an odd woman. They ended up naming their kid Icarus. And they call him Icky. I feel like they're setting him up for failure. Apparently, they named him Icarus because they like the part of the story right before the tragic ending.

Icarus is kind of a cool name, but I could see it being a problem. Kind of a double dose of potential failure- the sound of the name and the tragic ending associated with the name.
There was a podcast based on the most original versions of the Greek Myths. I need to dig it up, maybe post a new thread. Same for Aesop's Fables.
