Story

345-307 BC

Pegasus was the son of Medusa and Poseidon, born when Perseus beheaded Medusa.  Medusa was reputed to be very beautiful but angered Athena by having an affair with Poseidon.  Athena then turned Medusa into a snake-haired Gorgon.

Pegasus was a gentle, helpful creature.  He symbolizes freedom and the ability to transcend earthly limitations through flight.  Because of his ability to fly, Pegasus is often associated with divine inspiration.  Zeus granted Pegasus immortality by turning him into a constellation.
