Born from Medusa's neck when she was beheaded by Perseus
Pegasus
the immortal winged horse that was sired by Poseidon
It
was a wild shining white horse until one night it was captured
While
drinking at the spring of Peirene by the hero Bellerophon
Pegasus
was captured with the aid of a magical Golden Bridle
That
would tame even the wildest horse and given him by Athena
Then
prince Bellerophon rode brave Pegasus in the land of Lycia
And
victorious into battle against the three headed Chimaera
Then Bellerophon, so happy with himself for killing the monster
Decided
to try and ride Pegasus to the top of Mount Olympus
Zeus
was so enraged he struck down and crippled Bellerophon
And
as a carrier of thunderbolts Zeus used the immortal Pegasus
