Probably one of
the most iconic figures in Greek Mythology is Pegasus. The white winged horse.
The origins of the great beast was sired by none other than the God Of The Sea;
Poseidon. And The Gorgon Medusa. The hero Perseus was chosen to slay the Gorgon.
He decapitated the demon. After completing this arduous task, Perseus flew back
to Seriphos. On the way, drops of blood fell on the earth. It is said that
blood of supernatural beings give birth to other being. Pegasus was one of
them. After his creation, Pegasus traveled on many journeys. His final
destination was Mount Olympus to serve the god of thunder, Zeus. During his
time with Zeus, he carried his lightening bolts around. It was here that
Pegasus spent the last of days and as a reward, Zeus transformed Pegasus into a
constellation.
