Chapter
Thirteen - Pegasus
Pegasus was a winged
horse
that was born from the blood of the Gorgon Medusa
when she was slayed by Perseus. Pegasus enjoyed drinking from the spring of
Peirene at Corinth. Here, the hero Bellerophon,
who was in need of a horse to attack the Chimaera,
found Pegasus and tamed him with a golden bridle given to him by Athena.
