Bellerophon. Perseus did not ride Pegasus. Perseus
Yes. When the Greek hero Perseus cut of Medusa's head, the blood turned into a pegasus. (winged horse) The story of Bellerophon and the pegasus is a diffrent myth.
Pegasus was a mythological winged horse in ancient Greek mythology. According to legend, Pegasus was born from the blood of the Gorgon Medusa after she was slain by the hero Perseus. Pegasus was tamed and ridden by the hero Bellerophon, who used him to defeat the Chimera.
I wouldn't say that Perseus has any obvious symbols but my guess is that Pegasus is best affiliated with Perseus because Pegasus was born when Medusa was slain by Perseus. Pegasus sprang from Medusa's blood. I gave it a shot :-)
No.Renaissance artists replaced Bellerophon (according to Greek mythology was the tamer of Pegasus), with Perseus.
Perseus is associated with Pegasus, the winged horse.
The myth of Pegasus is Greek in origin (Perseus is one of Greece's "founder kings") so there is no Roman analog for him. As such, since the name is already in proper syntax, they just called him Pegasus.
