Ancient Greek Pegasus Alabaster statuePegasus (Ancient Greek: Πήγασος, Pégasos, Latin Pegasus) is one of the best known mythological creatures in Greek mythology.
He is a winged divine horse, usually depicted as white in colour. He was sired by Poseidon, in his role as horse-god, and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa.
Greco-Roman poets write about his ascent to heaven after his birth and his obeisance to Zeus, king of the gods, who instructed him to bring lightning and thunder from Olympus.
He was captured by the Greek hero Bellerophon near the fountain Peirene with the help of Athena and Poseidon.
Pegasus allows the hero to ride him to defeat a monster, the Chimera, before realizing many other exploits.

Zeus transformed him into the constellationPegasus and placed him up in the sky.(Ko4 42)
