TheIcarian Sea (Greek:Ικάριο Πέλαγος,Ikario Pelagos) is a subdivision of theMediterranean Sea that lies between theCyclades andAsia Minor. It is described as the part of theAegean Sea to the south ofChios, to the east of the EasternCyclades and west ofAnatolia. It contains the islands ofSamos,Cos,Patmos,Leros,Fournoi Korseon andIcaria.

It is the place, in the myth, into whichIcarus made his fatal fall from the sky when he flew too close to the sun during his flight fromCrete with his fatherDaedalus. It is either directly from this legend that it gets its name, or from the island ofIcaria. According to legend, it wasHelios thesun god who named the sea 'Icarian' after the fallen hero.[1]
