Pegasus

The winged horse that supposidly radiated beuty and perfection, born of the sea foam and the blood of the slaughtered Medusa. He was caught by Bellerophon, who mounted him and destroyed the Greek Chimera. But when Bellerophon became cocky and attempted to ascend to Olympus he was thrown from the back of Pegasus. So the majestic Pegasus rode alone to the skies and became the constellation Pegasus we see in the sky to this day.
