interpretation

Deadalus escaped through the air by using wings fixed to his body with wax. He also made wings for his son Icarus and made him fly behind himself. But the son was so glad and excited that he soon went too high. As he flew nearer to the sun, it got warmer and warmer, until at last the wax melted, and the boy feel down into the sea near Troy.

Q) It's hard to interpret the last sentence because of "until."

It looks like and sounds better instead of "until."
How should I take it?
