Pegasus(Ancient Greek: Πήγασος, Pégasos, Latin Pegasus) is one of the best knownmythological creatures in Greek mythology. He is a winged divine stallionusually depicted as pure white in colour. He was sired by Poseidon, in his roleas horse-god, and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa. He was the brother of Chrysaor,born at a single birthing when his mother was decapitated by Perseus.

Greco-Roman poets write about his ascent to heaven after his birth and hisobeisance to Zeus, king of the gods, who instructed him to bring lightning and thunder from Olympus. Friend of the Muses, Pegasus is the creator ofHippocrene, the fountain on Mt. Helicon. He was captured by the Greek heroBellerophon near the fountain Peirene with the help of Athena and Poseidon.Pegasus allows the hero to ride him to defeat a monster, the Chimera, beforerealizing many other exploits.

His rider, however, falls off his back trying toreach Mount Olympus. Zeus transformed him into the constellation Pegasus andplaced him up in the sky. Thesymbolism of Pegasus varies with time. Symbol of wisdom and especially of famefrom the Middle Ages until the Renaissance, he became one symbol of the poetryand the creator of sources in which the poets come to draw inspiration,particularly in the 19th century
