Where
did the name Pegasus come from? According to
ancient greek myth, Pegasus was the son of Poseidon
and Medusa, having sprung from the blood of
Medusa as it dropped into the sea after her
head was severed by Perseus. Pegasus appears
again and again throughout mythology.

He
was captured by Bellerophon at the water of
his fountain and was ridden by him when he killed
Chimera. Pegasus became the thundering horse
of Zeus which is why he appears among the stars.
