Pegasus

In Greek mythology Pegasus was a beautiful winged horse and a great flyer. He
was born when Medusa had her head chopped off by the Greek hero, Perseus.
After Perseus' victory over the Medusa, he again took to the air to present
his prize to Athena.  On the way some of the blood from the Medusa's severed
head dripped out of the sack and fell into the sea.  Poseidon had been in love
with the Medusa when she was a beautiful maiden.  Poseidon raised her drops of
blood from the sea.  Then he mixed them with white foam of the dancing waves
and with white sand of the beach and out of them he created the Winged Horse,
Pegasus.   Without a mother, Pegasus roamed free and wild. Many people tried,
but nobody could catch him until... While drinking from a well, Bellerophon
managed to slip a golden bridle over Pegasus and capture the horse. The golden
bridle had been a gift from the goddess Athena. Bellerophon tamed Pegasus and
used the horse during his adventures. One of these adventures was the slaying
the Mythical Creature of Chimera. Chimera had the head of a lion, the body of
a goat and the tail of a snake. It killed and ate humans. Many brave men had
tried slaying Chimera on foot but without any luck. Bellerophon used Pegasus
to fly to the monster and kill it. Bellerophon made the foolish decision to
try and fly Pegasus to Mount Olympus (heaven, according Greek mythology.) Zeus
quickly put a stop to Bellerophon by throwing him from Pegasus. Bellerophon
survived the fall but he was crippled. As for Pegasus, he made it into heaven
where he spent his days carrying lightning bolts for Zeus. When the stars are
out, you might be able to see the Pegasus' constellation which was named after
him. Pegasus' story became a favourite theme in Greek art and literature, and
in late antiquity Pegasus' soaring flight was interpreted as an allegory of
the soul's immortality.
