D. Icarus

Answer :

Final answer:

The painting and two poems leave out the subject of Daedalus from Ovid's original myth about Icarus.


Explanation:

The painting and two poems leave out the subject of Daedalus from Ovid's original myth about Icarus.

Ovid's original myth tells the story of Daedalus and his son Icarus who attempt to escape from the island of Crete using wings made out of feathers and wax. However, both the painting and the poems do not mention Daedalus as a central figure in the story.

Instead, they focus on Icarus and his tragic fate of flying too close to the sun, resulting in the melting of his wings and his eventual downfall.
