Pegasus is one of the best known mythological creatures in greek mythology. He is a winged divine stallion, usually depicted as pure white in color. He was sired by Poseidon, in his role as a horse god, foaled by Gorgon Medusa. He was the brother of Chrysaor, born at single birthing when his mother was decapitated by Perseus. Friend of Muses, Pegasus is the creator of Hippocrene, the fountain on Mt. Helicon. He was captured by the greek hero Bellerophon. Pegasus allows the hero to ride him to defeat the monster Chimera, before realizing many other exploits. However, the rider falls of his back trying to reach Mount Olympus. Zeus transformed him into the constellation Pegasus and placed him up in the sky. There are many versions of how Pegasus was born/created. One version is that They sprang from the blood issuing from Medusa's neck as Perseus was beheading her. In another version, when Perseus beheaded Medusa, they were born of the Earth, fed by Goron's blood. A variation of this story holds that they were formed from the mingling of Medusa's blood, Pain and sea foam, implying that Poseidon had involvement in their making. The last version bears resemblance to the birth of Aphrodite, daughter of Zeus.
Hope this was some good facts!
