Pegasus, the flying horse, was the son of Poseidon, king of the ocean, and Medusa, a horrible monster with snakes for hair. Yet the stories of Pegasus are wonderful and warm. Some tell how Pegasus carried wounded Greek soldier from battle. Many people tried to kidnap this famous horse. Some succeeded. But the gods always intervened, always on the side of Pegasus, and always tothe disadvantage of whomever had kidnapped him. Ultimately, after many adventures, Pegasus found a home on Mount Olympus. He became the thundering horse Zeus rode in the stars.

Poseidon was very powerful. He could raise his hand and a new island would appear! The Greeks were terrified of Poseidon. Poseidon had many wives. But his main wife was not jealous, so Poseidon did not have the problems at home that Zeus did.All the Greeks, but especially those who lived in coastal towns, built a temple to honor Poseidon. They brought special gifts to the temple every day, hoping to keep him happy. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn't. Poseidon was very moody.
