The lines "debit oscula Nato- non iterum repetend" written by Ovid predict Icarus' tragedy.

Daedalus is said to be peering down the waters at the feather, according to Ovid. It's a depiction of Icarus' demise, with the wings spreading to imply that he's dead and in the sea.

The warning given by Daedalus to his son about the flying medium is a foreshadowing of coming problems.

When Ovid writes the words "dedit oscula nato- non iterum repetenda" this is foreshadowing the death of Icarus.

Explanation:

Icarus, Ovid, and Daedalus are all mythological beings. Daedalus is the father in this story and Icarus is his son. They were both imprisoned by the King and to escape the father comes up with a way to escape. Daedalus makes wings out of wax for him and his son. The father makes the journey but the son falls out of the sky into the ocean to never be seen again.

While Daedalus was making the angel wings he explained many things to his son. The son was not paying enough attention to all the rules about the wings and decided to break the rule of flying close to the sun. This melted the wings and caused his death. Icarus was warned to not fly to close to the sun nor to close to the water. The water would dampen the wax and the sun would melt the wax. The father also kissed his son before taking flight almost as if he knew something was going to occur like his death.
