This is of course the mystical son and of Poseidon the sea-god and Medusa the Gorgon.Pegasus. The Pegasus was born when Persus the Greek hero cut Medusa's head like the birth of Athena who also was born out of Zeus's head. There are many other theories reagrding his type of birth, it is also said that he was born from the earth when Medusa's blood spilled on to it, or when medua's blood and the sea foam joined together.
The Pegasus was captured by Bellorophon when he was drinking with a golden bridle that was given to him by Athena. He also killed the Chimera and fought agianst the Amazons. Bellorophon tried to climb mount everest with Pegasus but Zeus did not let him do so and he fell on to the earth when Zeus stunned Pegasus. Then onwards Bellorophon did not see the Pegasus and was made a servant to Zeus. Pegasus had the job of carrying Zeus's thunderbolts to him and was ridden by Eos the goddess of Dawn.
Bellorophon mated with Ocyrrhoe and had two children. Pegasus was immortal, On his last day of life Zeus transformed him into a constellation and it is said that a single feather of him fell in the city of Tarsus.
