Pegasus is the winged horse of impressive white color, son of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, and Medusa, the Gorgon.

He was born in the fountains of the ocean and thus received his name, which comes from the Greek word phgh (pagé), meaning spring. 

Many things have been said about his birth throughout history, where it is assured that he was born on Earth. Pegasus has been fertilized by the blood that was spilled by Medusa when Perseus killed her.

One of the most widespread versions about the birth of the horse Pegasus is that he was born from the neck of Medusa when Perseus cut her neck very close to the sea, where his blood, in contact with the water, gave birth to his brother, the giant Chrysaor.

Pegasus has been represented on countless occasions, and we not only know him from history books, but we have also had the opportunity to see recreations of this fantastic being in movies, series, and even comics.

They have demonstrated the great importance of Greek mythology despite having spent so many centuries since his legend began.

One of the characteristics of this phenomenon is that he could fly and make water flow wherever he stepped and that he was utterly invincible. 

These characteristics did not go unnoticed by Bellerophon, the son of King Glaucus of Corinth, who long desired him and organized expeditions to capture him.

Since Bellerophon went to great lengths to try to get hold of him, the goddess Athena provided him with a golden harness to tame him.

And soon, they became flesh and blood, managing to kill such an important and dangerous enemy as the Chimera, another of the most critical mythological characters.

As time went by, Bellerophon grew in fame and wanted to become a god to reach Pegasus with him to the Olympus of the gods, something that did not please Zeus, who sent an insect to sting Pegasus. 

When he did so, Pegasus shook violently, knocking Bellerophon to the ground, leaving him impeded, and the steed was able to escape from him.

Finally, Zeus named Pegasus the bearer of lightning and thunder, two of the most important symbols of his power, but also ordered him to be in charge of driving the chariot of Aurora.

It also turned him into a constellation composed of four bright stars, something we can see today in the sky.
