I read a book named Magical Animals. Its cover was very lovely, but content was not so. Chapter1 was Pegasus. Bellerophon who was a prince in Greece was asked to kill Chimera by the king. Chimera was terrible monster which has two head: a goat-head and lion-head and tail were snake. He had to catch Pegasus to approach Chimera. He caught Pegasus with the help of the goddess Athene. Finally he killed Chimera. He went back and told good news to the king. He was lionized as god by people. He misunderstood. He thought that maybe he is a god. He flew with Pegasus to Olympus where the gods lived. Zeus who is the king of gods annoyed to see Bellerophon. Zeus blew away him. He fell through clouds to the ground. He was killed in an instant. Pegasus was kept by Zeus. Certainly he was bad to misunderstand. But I thought that Bellerophon was pitiful.
