The Constellation

The Myth of Pegasus Pegasus is the son of the Greek God Poseidon and the Gorgon Medusa. When Perseus killed Medusa, Pegasus flew out of her head and was thus born. The hero Bellerophon tamed and rode Pegasus using a golden bridle provided by the Goddess Athene. Bellerophon used Pegasus to help him defeat the three-headed monster Chimera, as well as the Amazons. Once Bellerophon had conquered these creatures with the help of Pegasus, he became arrogant and full of pride. Believing himself to be almost godlike, Bellerophon made Pegasus fly him to Mount Olympus, where all of the other Greek Gods dwelled. The gods were angered by Bellerophon’s presumptuousness, and so Zeus sent an insect to sting Pegasus. The sting made Pegasus buck Bellerophon off of his back, and Bellerophon fell down to Earth where he remained blind and lame, no longer a hero. Pegasus continued on to Mount Olympus alone, where he helped Zeus by carrying his thunderbolts. For his bravery and assistance, the Gods honored Pegasus by placing him in the stars, where he can now be found as a constellation.
