What Greek character failed or died by arrogance?
An example of a character from Greek mythology whose death resulted from his arrogance was Bellerophon. He had tried to fly Pegasus up to Olympus, believing that he deserved a seat with the gods. This angered Zeus, who struck him out of the sky (some myths saying that Pegasus simply refused to budge). As a result, Pegasus left Bellerophon, and Bellerophon spent the rest of his days wandering, blind and crippled.
What is bellerophon a god of?
Bellerophon is not a god. He wasn't even the son of a god. In fact, he was one of the very few heroes that wasn't a demigod, though he did have divine heritage (and while some tellings say that he was the son of Poseidon and the king's wife, the retelling of the myth by his own grandson makes no mention of Poseidon). Bellerphon is well-known because he is the hero that killed the chimera and tamed Pegasus. After he killed the monster, though, his hubris got the better of him and he attempted to use Pegasus to reach Olympus. Zeus, angered by this, sent a gadfly to pester Pegasus, who threw Bellerophon from his back. Pegasus made it to Olympus where Zeus used him to shuttle his thunderbolts from the forge of the Cyclopes. Bellerophon fell into a briar patch, which blinded him. He died a doddering old man who shunned the company of other people. He is also one of the extremely few heroes not to be immortalized in the stars.
What does a pegasus tattoo symbolize?
"Pegasus Tattoos - While the horse remains one of the most popular animal tattoo designs, the winged horse Pegasus stands out as a particular favorite with equine tattoo enthusiasts. Not enough for some people the beauty, grace and speed of the ordinary horse, they must add wings and magic and stories of Gods to the tattoo - we speak of course of Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology. The birth of this mythical winged steed went something like this -- the Greek hero, Perseus, son of Zeus, slew the fearful Medusa with his magical sword, and from the blood gushing from her neck emerged the wild and magnificent Pegasus. Poseidon (Neptune), god of the Ocean, was Pegasus' father. It was Pegasus who carried Perseus to rescue Princess Andromeda when she was chained to the dragon-guarded rock. Hero and Princess married, and together with Pegasus they became a constellation of stars twinkling in the heavens. As it says in the 5th century B.C. Greek lyric -- "Pegasus dwells in the ancient stalls of Zeus upon Olympus." It's not surprising that other heroes coveted the fearless flying Pegasus, but capturing such a wondrous creature required divine intervention. When Bellerophon, another son of Poseidon, pleaded to the gods for help in taming Pegasus, it was the Greek goddess, Athena who provided Bellerophon with the necessary golden bridle. Legend tells of Pegasus drinking at the well when he was captured, while some say it was Athena herself who tamed Pegasus and brought him to Bellerophon. Pegasus then carried Bellerophon on a mission to rid the countryside of the people-slaying, fire-breathing, lion-headed Chimera. With that mission accomplished, Pegasus was steered heavenward by his grateful hero, but a gad-fly infuriated Pegasus and he tossed his rider, sending him back to earth. It is said that the fly was Zeus' dirty work, since he did not favour Bellerophon. Pegasus continued his riderless flight skywards, and was welcomed by Zeus into the realm of the gods to become their divine steed. As the one who delivered Zeus's thunderbolts, Pegasus could be seen thundering fearlessly across the skies. Pegasus is also connected with the Nine Muses and stories that describe the creation of a gushing spring on Mount Helicon. When Pegasus struck the ground with his hoof, water sprang from the rock, and the place became the inspiring well of the Muses. One legend has Pegasus striking the rock because he was thirsty. Here is one horse who took himself to water and drank. As a tattoo symbol, Pegasus represents much of what a Horse does, loyalty, stamina, endurance and speed, but with the added dimensions normally associated with Wings and Birds -freedom, and a soaring spirit, mind and heart. Pegasus speaks to the poet in us, of the magical and mystical and the divine world of Gods among the clouds and Mount Olympus. Pegasus will carry us to new heights of imagination, inspiration and aspiration."
What is Pegasus' weaknesses?
Pegasus is not portrayed with a weakness. The closest thing for him is the touch of an immortal being; the mortal Bellerophon, who is famous for being the only human to have tamed Pegasus, could not ride the horse if he didn't have the golden bridle of Athena or Hera. Others say that he consented to let Bellerophon ride him only because Athena asked to him, and most people don't refuse a god/goddess.
