In [[Greek mythology]], '''Chrysaor''' ({{langx|grc|Χρυσάωρ|Khrysáor}}, gen. {{lang|grc|Χρυσάορος}}), "he who has a golden sword" (from {{lang|grc|χρυσός}} "golden" and {{lang|grc|ἄορ}} "sword"]) was the brother of the winged horse [[Pegasus]], often depicted as a young man, the son of [[Poseidon]] and [[Medusa]], born when [[Perseus]] decapitated the [[Gorgon]] [[Medusa]]. {{quote|And when Perseus cut off her head, there sprang forth great Chrysaor and the horse Pegasus who is so called because he was born near the springs of [[Oceanus|Ocean]]; and that other, because he held a golden blade in his hands.|[[Hesiod]], ''[[Theogony]]''<ref>{{cite web |title=Hesiod, Theogony, line 270 |url=https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0130%3Acard%3D270 |website=www.perseus.tufts.edu}}</ref>}}
