Winged Wonders: Pegasus
Here he is … the most popular, the Winged white horse.
Back in the day, Pegasus was most famous for being the Bellerophon's ride. But these days, Perseus gets Pegasus's back.
Later in his career, Pegasus became Zeus's thunderbolt carrier and was besties with the Muses.
After a while, Zeus finally let Pegasus retire and gave the winged wonder a place of honor among the stars.
Name: Pegasus
Current city: The Stars
Occupation: Currently employed as a constellation; formerly the mount of Bellerophon and later Zeus's thunderbolt carrier
Parents: Poseidon (Dad), Medusa (Mom)
Friends: Bellerophon, the Muses, Zeus, Apollo, Athena
Enemies: The Chimera, Gravity
A Traumatic Birth:
“You never really get over it when your Mom's head has to be cut
off in order for you to be born.“
Medusa was carrying the children of the god Poseidon and when
Perseus strikes off her head they are released: the winged horse
Pegasus and her human son Chrysaor.

Party on Parnassus:
“Hanging with the Muses and friends on Mt. Parnassus is never dull.”
Pegasus,
Mercury at his side,
the dancing Muses,
Apollo, his lyre in his hands.
Mars and Venus, the two lovers on top of Parnassus,
a bed
and
Vulcan, the cuckolded husband, springs out from the entrance
of his forge

Searching for the Truth:
“The jury is out on whether or not Pegasus ever really hung
out with Perseus.”
The presence of the mythical horse next to Perseus is a mistake,
because Pegasus was the horse of Bellerophon.

Winged Wonders: Nemesis
She is not exactly the most popular member of this clique.

Prud'hon himself supplied an account of the contents:
"Under the dark veil of the night, in a wild and remote place, the greedy
criminal murders his victim, snatches his gold and looks to make sure
there is no sign of life to betray his fearful deed.
He does not see that Nemesis, that terrible aid to justice, is pursuing
him, and is about to seize him and deliver him up to its unyielding
assistant."

Winged Wonders: Harpies
Aren't exactly the most brightest members of this clique, because the ugly bird-ladies have
a tendency to steal and leave their excrements on things.
These ugly bird-ladies are sometimes called "the hounds of Zeus," because the king of the gods often sent them to punish mortals.
Have a nasty habit of swooping down from the sky, snatching whatever food they see.

the feast; and with unclean touch mire every dish."
(Virgil, Aeneid, book 3.)

“How come Dante had to make us out to be so nasty? ...”
Here, says the poet, the harpies make their nest ...

The souls of those who have died by suicide have been
transformed into trees as punishment. Harpies feed upon them.

Winged Wonders: Icarus
