it was first sighted in 3000 b.c. by the Greeks. >
The story behind Pegasus begins with the battle between Perseus and Medusa. When Perseus cut off Medusa's head, drops of blood fell into the sea. They mixed with sea foam, and Pegasus was born. The white sea foam gave the horse his brilliant white color. Pegasus became friends with the warrior, Bellerophon. One day, Bellerophon tried to ride Pegasus to Mount Olympus. This angered Zeus so much that he sent a gadfly to bite Pegasus. When the horse was stung, Bellerophon fell to the Earth. Pegasus made it to the home of the gods, where he still remains in the stars as a constellation...or so i've heard
