| Pegasus was the winged horse from Greek mythology who sprang from Medusa's neck when she was killed by Perseus. Pegasus then flew to Mount Helicon, where striking the ground with his hoof, a stream began to flow which became sacred to the Muses. When Bellerophon was given the task of killing Chimara, he was advised to procure Pegasus for the battle. Minerva gave Bellerophon a golden bridle and showed him Pegasus drinking at the well of Pirene. At the sight of the bridle, Pegasus approached and allowed himself to be captured. With the help of Pegasus, the Chimaera was easily defeated. This conquest and other sucesses with Pegasus caused Bellerophon to become swell headed. He attempted to fly Pegasus to Olympus to join the gods. An Angry Zeus sent an insect to sting Pegasus, causing him to throw Bellerophon from his back. Bellerophon thereafter wandered the earth alone, lame and blind in consequence. Some stories place Pegasus in Zeus's stables after this, entrusted with the task of bringing lightening to the god. Pegasus lives forever as a constellation in the night sky. |
| Unicorns are mythical one-horned creatures that have been featured in mythology since classical times. The most widespread superstition concerning this animal is that it can only be captured by a virgin, who if seated beneath a tree can lure the animal into laying its head into her lap, and going to sleep. The powdered horn of the unicorn is also supposed to be a powerful aphrodisiac and an antidote to poison. |

| In the early evenings of October and later in earlier months, look straight up at the zenith and measure one palm-width to the south and one to the east: you will find the Great Square of Pegasus, the Winged Horse. Confusingly, the Horse flies upside down. The southwestern-most of the stars is white Markab. Its neighboring corners are deep yellow Scheat and fainter white Algenib. You can probably make out the horse's head, neck, and front legs extending to the west. |

| Many unicorns and the Great Pegasus dwell right here in the misty blue waterfalls of BLUE'S LAGOON. You must tread quietly..speak sofly..do not dare to touch the magical beasts. To do so..would let Darkness descend upon the Lagoon..and the magic will be lost. Visit other magical places in BLUE'S LAGOON. |
