Icarus: poem and painting

As Icarus falls into the water and drowns, every man and woman near are indifferent to his sufferings. Icarus isn't even the focal point of the poem or painting. Let alone, in the painting he can barely be noticed! The poem and painting reduce Icarus's sufferings to a mere blip and life around- the cattle, the ships, work go on. Life goes on- it's just another day. The poem and painting give us a brilliant perspective into how they view daily life and the myth of Icarus. The implications for both are that no one cares who Icarus is, he's superfluous and life is just an ordinary event that occurs. Also, I don't know whether this could be going overboard- but I feel as if I could compare this to The Stranger. There is a certain kind of detachment from Icarus's sufferings, from any emotion as the painting is kind of ordinary and bland, and also a detachment from life. It's merely something that goes on- nothing special.
