| Pegasus is a mythological
creature that was said to be a winged horse. He was the
horse of Bellerophon and Perseus. After Perseus chopped
off Medusa’s head he was born out of the severed head of
Medusa. After Bellerophon defeated the Chimaera with the
help of Pegasus, he tried to make the horse ride to the
top of Mount Olympus. This upset Zeus, so he stunned the
horse with a thunderbolt, causing Bellerophon to fall
off. Zeus allowed Pegasus to fly the rest of the way up
the mountain. |
