Best Answer

In some versions of the myths, yes, he's the son of Poseidon and Medusa.

What I read is that he 'sprung' from the body of Medusa after she was slain by Perseus, the son of Zeus.

Medusa used to be a beautiful maiden. Poseidon and Medusa were found together in the temple of Athena by Athena. Athena found that deeply disrespectful, and since she could not punish her uncle, she settled for turning his new girlfriend into a hideous monster.

Yes, by Medusa.

However some argue that Pegasus sprung only from the blood of Medusa's cut off head.
