Interesting Facts about Pegasus

Pegasus is closely associated with the Muses, the inspirational goddesses of literature, science, and the arts in Greek mythology. After his birth, Pegasus flew to Mount Helicon, where his hoof created the spring Hippocrene, which became sacred to the Muses and was believed to provide poetic inspiration to those who drank its waters. Later myths tell of Pegasus’ service to Zeus, king of the gods, carrying his lightning bolts, and eventually being transformed into a constellation in the night sky, further cementing his status as an enduring symbol of inspiration and wonder.
