Ikaros (Greek: Ἴκαρος) was the Hellenistic name for what is now the Failaka Island of Kuwait. It is located 50 kilometres (31 mi) southeast of the spot where the Tigris and Euphrates empty into the Persian Gulf. For thousands of years, the island served as a strategic point in the Persian Gulf that would enable its ruler to control the lucrative trade that passed through the area; the island has been a strategic location since the rise of the Sumerian city-state of Ur in Mesopotamia.

  • Η Ίκαρος είναι αρχαία ελληνική πόλη στη νήσο στον περσικό κόλπο, διοικητικά ο αρχαιολογικός χώρος και η νήσος ανήκουν στο Κουβέιτ. Η Ίκαρος κτίστηκε τον 4ο αιώνα π.Χ. από τον ναύαρχο του Μέγα Αλέξανδρου Νέαρχο σαν στρατιωτικό φυλάκιο κατά το πέρασμα του από το νησί στην διάρκεια του πλου προς τα δυτικά. Μετά τον θάνατο του Μέγα Αλέξανδρου η Ίκαρος αποτέλεσε πόλη του βασιλείου των Σελευκίδων. Ο Σέλευκος έκτισε ναό αφιερωμένο στην Άρτεμη με Ιωνικό αλλά και περσικό ρυθμό. (el)
