To protect him, Perseus is taken in by fishermen and grows up. As an adult, our hero is entrusted with the mission of killing Medusa, a Gorgon who terrorizes men and who has the power to petrify any mortal who looks her in the eye. Perseus kills the Gorgon, and Pegasus born from the severed neck of Medusa Pegasus will be entrusted to the son of Perseus, Bellerophon, with whom he will accomplish many exploits and he would also have had the merit of having created a certain number of sources with a kick.
