Pegasus
is a mythical winged divine horse, and one of the most recognized
creatures in Greek mythology. Usually depicted as pure white, Pegasus is
the offspring of the Olympian god Poseidon. He was foaled by the Gorgon
Medusa[1] upon her death, when the hero Perseus decapitated her.
Pegasus is the brother of Chrysaor and the uncle of Geryon.
Pegasus
was caught by the Greek hero Bellerophon, near the fountain Peirene,
with the help of Athena and Poseidon. Pegasus allowed Bellerophon to
ride him in order to defeat the monstrous Chimera, which led to many
other exploits. Bellerophon later fell from the winged horse's back
while trying to reach Mount Olympus. Afterwards, Zeus transformed
Pegasus into the eponymous constellation.
