Who first said "the higher you fly, the farther you fall" (or equivalent)?

Factual Questions
1

Title pretty much states question.

2

Well, it’s the basic theme of the story of Icarus from Greek mythology, which I think is too old to be attributed to any one author.

3

Don’t know, but it’s sort of like “The brighter the light, the darker the shadow”.

There’s also an “Aesop’s” fable on the same theme, illustrated in this 17th century print. It says The snail not liking his estate The Eagle prays to elevate And through his [ride falls again Which change is like to ambitious men.

For a more positive spin on it, there’s How Did You Die? by Edmund Vance Cooke:

The harder you’re thrown, why the higher you bounce;
Be proud of your blackened eye!
It isn’t the fact that you’re licked that counts;
It’s how did you fight and why?
