__ Mythogical Stories __

Pegasus helped Bellephoron to destroy the three-headed monster Chimaera. However, by doing this he gained the confidence to ride Pegasus to Mount Olympus and become a God. This was not a good idea because it enraged Zeus. He sent an insect to annoy Pegasus and this caused the horse to throw Bellerophon off his back. Now Pegasus was living at the Olympian Stable fetching lightning bolts for Zeus. For Bellophoron's consequence, instead of dying, he was lame and blind. Therefore, he wandered lonely through the Aleian field, did not speak to anyone and died in misery.
