NO, they were not. Perseus came before Bellerophon because when Perseus beheaded Medusa, Pegasus sprang from her neck. Bellerophon was the first to tame Pegasus, and with it he defeated the chimera. Perseus is, as far as I know, the only Greek hero to have a "happy ending," with a wife and family. Bellerophon, however, died a tragic death when he tried to fly Pegasus up to Olympus, because he felt he deserved to be a God. Pegasus "bucked," for lack of a better word, him off and Bellerophon fell to his death. Hence, the two are different people.
