Pegasus got his name from Greek mythology. In the myths, Pegasus was a divine winged horse that was fathered by Poseidon, the god of the sea, and was born from the blood of Medusa when she was slain by Perseus. The name "Pegasus" is derived from the Greek word "Pegasos," meaning "strong" or "spring."
