I had a request for a Pegasus pattern so here it is. I don't have much knowledge of Greek mythology. I took a look at Wikipedia and saw He was sired by
Poseidon, in his role as horse-god, and foaled by the
Gorgon Medusa. The symbolism of Pegasus varies with time. Symbol of wisdom and
especially of fame from the Middle Ages until the Renaissance, he became
one symbol of the poetry and the creator of sources in which the poets
come to draw inspiration, particularly in the 19th century. Pegasus is
the subject of a very rich iconography, especially through the ancient
Greek pottery and paintings and sculptures of the Renaissance.
Personification of the water, solar myth, or
shaman mount,
Carl Jung
and his followers have seen in Pegasus a profound symbolic esoteric in
relation to the spiritual energy that allows access to the realm of the
gods on Mount Olympus.
It's all Greek to me but if you like mythology this might be a fun cutting. The original image came from www.vectorportal.com and was adapted by me.
