Description: Pegasus is the wonderful winged horse that sprang from the blood of the Gorgon Medusa as she was beheaded by Perseus. And since the time of the ancient Greeks, he has been a symbol of the link that exists between us ordinary mortals and heaven. As we learn in the myth, Pegasus carried Bellerophon to immortal fame. One morning, he awoke with golden reins in his hands, a gift from Athene. Astride the winged horse and airborne, he then slew the monster Chimera with his bow and arrow. After this phenomenal victory, Bellerophon fell victim to his own pride. He took it upon himself to fly with Pegasus to heaven, the home of the gods, as if he too were immortal. Zeus was so indignant that he sent out a hornet, which stung the winged horse so painfully that he bucked and threw his rider back to earth. Pegasus, however continued on his journey into the heavens where he became a constellation, pulling the chariot of Zeus, the father of all gods.
