Pegasus is one of the best-known creatures in Greek mythology. This winged horse is usually depicted as white in color and was always
considered a good-hearted and gentle animal. Throughout his life, Pegasus remained a mysterious creature that symbolized divine inspiration or
the journey to heaven. As a reward for his service and loyalty, Zeus honored him with a special immortality, turning him into a constellation on
the last day of his life.
The story of Pegasus begins when Perseus is sent to kill one of the three Gorgons, Medusa who had writhing snakes instead of hair. It was said
that anyone unfortunate enough to gaze on her face would turn to stone. The God Hermes and the Goddess Athena came to aid Perseus with
special gifts, including a shield which Perseus used as a mirror so he did not look directly at Medusa. When Perseus beheaded Medusa it is said
that Pegasus was born from the blood of the Gorgon. Many wanted to capture Pegasus but no one could work out how to tame such a
magnificent creature.
