Pegasus
- in
Greek mythology, a winged horse that sprang from the blood of the
Gorgon Medusa as she was beheaded by the hero
Perseus.
Pegasus' story was a favourite
theme in Greek art and literature, and in late antiquity
Pegasus' soaring flight was
interpreted as an allegory of the soul's immortality; in modern times
it has been regarded as a symbol of poetic inspiration.
