Pegasos

Definitions

Noun. [B1]

Examples

“Figures like⟳ Medousa and Pegasos wear⟳ wings.”

“Those who went alone fueled only by ambition and a sense⟳ of competence, like⟳ Bellerophon, were shunted back to earth; as Pegasos, with that famous moral wriggle, threw his human master in exchange⟳ for a divine one in the stalls of Zeus. Monsters or sports like⟳ Pegasos were sensitive indicators in Greek myth of the status of ambitious man; when monsters stand⟳ for death, man may kill⟳ them.”

“The same time period also offers our first look⟳ at Medousa and her family, that is, Medousa shown intact and, at her side, her children, Pegasos and Chrysaor, who will in fact emerge⟳ from her neck only after her head has been cut⟳ off.”
