Have you ever heard of the legend of Icarus and his father, Daedalus?
After designing a labyrinth for the King of Minos of Crete as a home for the fabled Minotaur, both Daedalus and his son were imprisoned so that they could not build anything more.
Eventually, both managed to escape by making wings out of beeswax and feathers brought by the servants.
But, as they flew to freedom, Icarus- exhilarated by the experience- forgot his father's warnings, and flew too close to the sun. The wax holding his wings together melted and he plummeted into the waiting ocean below, losing his both wings and his life.
That's why he said it.
You're no God, she says.
And he replies; Neither is the sun.
For it would be a cruel god.

Hurray for Greek myths!
