References to Icarus in popular culture
Hello, Jonsheppherd. I'm sure you noticed we have a very long list of references to Icarus in popular music, linked from the article. These were separated from the article after talk-page discussion. In modern song, print and pictures, references (or more accurately, allusions) to Icarus seem world-wide and endless. Few, if any, tell us anything new about the myth itself, and we end up with an ever-expanding, ultimately rather pointless list. We'd need a sound rationale for the inclusion of any particular example in the Icarus article. The welcome links above will tell you how to meet the various criteria for inclusion of material in articles. If you've any further queries, please let me know. I'll help if I can. Regards.
