Origin[]
Pegasus (Greek: Πήγασος, translit. Pḗgasos; Latin: Pegasus, Pegasos) is a winged horse in Greek mythology, usually depicted as a white stallion. He was sired by Poseidon, in his role as horse-god, and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa. Pegasus was the brother of Chrysaor, both born when their mother was decapitated by Perseus. Greco-Roman poets wrote about his ascent to heaven after his birth and his obeisance to Zeus, who instructed him to bring lightning and thunder from Olympus.
Warehouse 3 records state it as "Pegasus Wings" but they come from the "Tachymarptis melba" or Alpine swift. This particular artifact comes from a story about a man spying for his army, who glued wings to his war horse to leap over Mount Olympus to warn his generals about the oncoming attack, which may have inspired the myth of Pegasus.
Effects[]
When placed on any kind of equine, it gives them the ability to fly and glide over objects when leaping.
