Pegasus (Pegasos) in Greek Mythology is the winged steed that caused Hippocrene, the fountain of the Muses on Mt. Helicon, to well forth with a stroke of his hoof. Pegasus, whose name is possibly derived from 'springs of the Ocean' (pegai) or 'of the wells,' is a variant of the Greek word pege which means "spring" or "fountain" and the form sus is pre-Greek in origin, means "bridled horse" referring to the figurehead of a ship. Thus Pegasus can literally mean "Fountain Horse."
