The famous winged horse which was created from the blood of the Gorgon, Medusa.
Pegasos opened the spring of Hippokrene (Hippocrene) with a stroke of his hoof and carried Bellerophontes (Bellerophon) in his battle with the Khimera (Chimera); since he was born “near the springs of Ocean” (springs = pegas), his name became Pegasos; he resides on Mount Olympos (Olympus) and carries the thunder and lighting for Zeus.
