Pegasus \Peg"a*sus\, n. [L., fr. Gr. Ph`gasos.]
   1. (Gr. Myth.) A winged horse fabled to have sprung from the
      body of Medusa when she was slain. He is noted for
      causing, with a blow of his hoof, Hippocrene, the
      inspiring fountain of the Muses, to spring from Mount
      Helicon. On this account he is, in modern times,
      associated with the Muses, and with ideas of poetic
      inspiration.
