Bellerophon believed that he could be equal to the gods because he had many successes, such as killing the Chimera. He was also very ambitious. Bellerophon forgot that this kind of thought really ticked the gods off, and Pegasus knew that. Therefore, Pegasus threw him off and wouldn't let him fly.
As Bellerophon's fame grew, so did his hubris. Bellerophon felt that because of his victory over the Chimera he deserved to fly to Mount Olympus, the realm of the gods.
Don't challenge the gods and don't have overbearing pride (hubris)
Bellerophon was awarded by the gods for completing his tasks, particularly the slaying of the Chimera, by being granted the ability to ride Pegasus, the winged horse. This divine gift allowed him to ascend to the heavens and gain further recognition among both mortals and gods. However, his hubris led to his downfall when he attempted to reach Mount Olympus, resulting in his rejection by the gods. Ultimately, Bellerophon faced a tragic fate, wandering alone and shunned by those he once impressed.

They were not gods- they were all mortal. All three were mortal, and were considered heroes.
Wrong. The man (Bellerophon) thought he was so great to have tamed Pegasus, that he thought he should live with the gods. He ordered Pegasus to bring him to Mount Olympous, but Pegasus bucked him off.
Bellerophon was a mortal. He wanted to have a place in Olympus with the gods (which would have made them very angry), and tried to fly with Pegasus up there. Pegasus, wiser, threw him off and would not fly. Bellerophon spent the rest of his days wandering alone.

Bellerophon was not a Greek god. He was famous for doing things like taming Pegasus, slaying the Chimera, and trying to get a place among the gods of Olympus and failing.

Bellerophon and Pegasus' first trip together was to Lycea, to slay the Chimera. Years later, Bellerophon tried to fly on Pegagus to the gods' home on Olympus. Zeus caused a gadfly to sting Pegasus' tail, causing him to buck and accidentally throw Bellerophon to his death.
Yes the Quaker's did believe that all people were equal in gods sight.
