First off; if you want to learn about the Pegasus
keep reading, but if you are here for the gallery then click on
the Pegasus applet above and he will take you straight to the gallery.
In Greek Mythology the Pegasus was believed to have sprung from Medusa's body when she died after a battle with Perseus who killed her and then presented her head to Athena. It is believed that
Pegasus with the slash of his hoof created the great sacred spring
Hippocrene of the Muses on Mt.Helicon. This is what often ties Pegasus
into the arts and poetry as well.
Bellerophon captured Pegasus and rode him through many adventures.
One adventure was killing the Chimera; a beast that was part lion,
goat and dragon. But with the mighty Pegasus aiding Bellerophon the
battle was won. The separation with Bellerophon and Pegasus happened
after Iobates gave his daughters hand to Bellerophon in marriage;
believing that he was favored by the Gods. But at the peak of his
prosperity he tried to ride Pegasus to the top Of Mt. Olympus to the
throne of the Gods. Zeus became angry and caused Pegasus to throw
Bellerophon from his back and from there he wandered around humiliated
blind, and cripple before his death.
Dont forget to view the pictures just click on the
Pegasus applet above and he will take you to the gallery. I take no
credit for any of these pictures; I found them at many different
web sites and simply gathered my favorites. To my knowledge all are
free for personal use.
