=== Taming of Pegasus === When [[Perseus]] beheaded [[Medusa]] some of the blood spilled onto the ground, and from it came [[Pegasus]]. Minerva caught the horse and tamed it before gifting the horse to the [[Muses]]. It was a kick from the hoof of Pegasus that opened the fountain [[Hippocrene]].<ref name="Ovid-2018" /> When [[Bellerophon]] later went to fight the [[Chimera (mythology)|Chimera]] he sought to use Pegasus in the fight. In order to do this he slept in Minerva's temple, and she came to him with a golden bridle. When Pegasus saw Bellerophon with the bridle the horse immediately allowed Bellerophon to mount, and they defeated the Chimera.<ref name="Bulfinch-2010" /> [[File:Johann_König_-_Minerva_Visiting_the_Muses_on_Mount_Helicon.jpg|thumb|Painting of Minerva visiting the Muses]]
