Does roman mythology have any sort of "mythical men" similar to the spartoi?

I'm not an expert on Roman mythology, but I would say the the Trojan prince Aeneas is a good example. He is a figure from both Greek and Roman legend.

Hi everyone! I'm new here 
. I'm trying to write a story about Daedalus and Icarus, but consulting several sources, I figured out none of them mentioned Icarus' age. In latin he is referred as "puer", which means a boy between 7-17 years old, so he surely is on the young side. I was just wondering if he was a pre-adolescent (12,13) or a bit older such as 15 or 16. It's a little difference, but it really influences the maturity of the kid. If anybody knows, any help would be very appreciated )
ps: sorry if my english isn't perfect, I'm actually italian lol
