Pegasus - March's Mythic Beast

Pegasus is the Winged Horse of Legend. The offspring of Poseidon, Lord of the Sea and Horses, and Medusa, the gorgon cursed by Athena. At the time when Athena laid her curse upon Medusa, she had already been impregnated by Poseidon. The curse kept her stuck in an immortal body unable to grow or change. When Perseus came to hunt Medusa, he decapitated the gorgon and from her Headless body sprung Pegasus and Chysaor. Years later, Bellerophon enlisted the help of Pegasus to take down the Chimera. After such a feat the two were bonded and went off to slay beasts of all kinds. Until the day Bellerophon fell from Pegasus's back and fell to his death. Now Pegasus is honored as a constellation in the clear night sky. He also carries thunder and lightning for Zeus.
