 Pegasus was the magnificent winged horse born
from the blood of the famous Gorgon,
Medusa, when the hero Perseus slit her
throat. Perseus flew on Pegasus to rescue the young girl, Andromeda, tied to a rock about to
meet her death. He carried Bellerophon to the fight between
Bellerophon and the monster Chimera when he tried to fly to Olympus.
