Pegasus is one of the well-known characters in Greek mythology.
He is a stallion with wings that is said to be pure white in color. Pegasus's was given birth by Gorgon Medusa and was fathered by Poseidon, in his character as a horse-god. He had a brother named Chrysaor, who was born when Perseus decapitated his mother. He was sent to heaven and he obeyed Zeus, the ruler of gods, who ordered him to bring lightning and thunder from Olympus. Pegasus created Hippocrene, the fountain placed on Mt. Helicon. The Greek hero Bellorophon, together with Athena and Poseidon, captured him near the fountain Peirene. Pegasus gave permission to the hero to ride him to beat the Chimera, a monster, before perceiving other exploits. However, the hero riding him fell off his back from trying to reach Mt. Olympus. Zeus turned him into the constellation Pegasus and put him up the
sky.
I made a story about the Pegasus constellation on my own and here it goes. Back in the ancient times when magical creatures existed still, there was a creature who was alone. He was only one of his kind and the others won't befriend him. Little did they know that this creature is kind and friendly and he was Pegasus. All was well when a war between two different creatures was created. All of the other creatures were beginning to take each one's side until the time Pegasus needs to choose one of them came. Pegasus told them to stop fighting and to just make peace between everyone but they didn't listen. One night, while the creatures were still fighting, a god showed up and that made them pause. The god said that they have to sacrifice one creature or he will punish all of them, yet no one wants to sacrifice for the whole population. Until Pegasus stepped forward and told the god that he'd sacrifice himself for all of them. And so, the god took Pegasus with him but he knew that Pegasus wasn't included in the fight so instead of punishing him, he put him up in the sky so that every creature would remember what sacrifice he had done every time they would see his constellation. He stayed there as a constellation and every time the creatures would see it, they would remember the heroism he had done
