very type of being and/or creature of the Greek myth, right from the gods to monsters, and even mortal heroes. It is Nike Store perhaps this all inclusive nature of the divine beast that is responsible for its popularity. In other words, because the beast is often associated with so many mythical beings, it tends to make its appearance in more mythological tales than other divine animals.

Hesiod, the 8th century BCE Greek poet, in his treatise, Theogony, has mentioned that Pegasus was born from the Earth, when a droplet of Medusa's blood fell on the ground. This happened near pegai (springs) of Oceanus (personification of World Ocea
