Mythology - Pegasus


Pegasus is the famous winged horse connected with the legends of Perseus and Andromeda. It is said that the animal was created from the blood of the monster Medusa which Perseus killed. Pegasus lived on Mt. Helicon and was said to have struck his hoof upon the ground and caused a fountain of water to gush forth. He was tamed by Neptune or Minerva and sometimes used by Jupiter to carry thunder and lightning. The symbol of the winged horse is found as far back as 430 BC on coins.
