Information
Where
did the name Pegasus come from? According to ancient greek
myth, Pegasus was the son of Poseidon and Medusa, having
sprung from the blood of Medusa as it dropped into the
sea after her head was severed by Perseus. Pegasus appears
again and again throughout mythology.
He
was captured by Bellerophon at the water of his fountain
and was ridden by him when he killed Chimera. Pegasus
became the thundering horse of Zeus which is why he appears
among the stars.
