Pegasus is the most famous of the winged horses. 

According to the myth, it was born from the soil bathed in spilled blood when

 Perseus cut Medusa's neck. A wild and free animal, Pegasus is initially used by Zeus 

to transport lightning bolts to Olympus. Thanks to the bridles received as a gift from Athena, 

it was subsequently domesticated by Bellerophon, who used it as a mount to kill the Chimera. 

After the death of the hero, which happened to have fallen from Pegasus, the winged horse 

returns among the gods.
