Pegase depicts the mythological creature, Pegasus, being shot down by a lightning bolt as it attempts to fly to the top of Mount Olympus. Pegasus is a winged horse in Greek mythology that aids the Greek hero Bellerophon in defeating the monster, Chimera. Eventually Pegasus is brought to Olympus to live in Zeus's stable and carry his lightning bolts. Pegasus’ journey ends in the stars as a constellation forever flying above us.
