Pegasus was formed by the mating of Poseidon and Medusa. Later tamed by Bellerophon, he went on many adventures, such as the slaying of Chimaera, and Bellerophons attempt to fly the winged horse to Mount Olympus. Sadly Bellerophon was dismounted by Zeus on the way up to Mount Olympus, leaving him blind and crippled for the rest of his life.
