    0:00 1. Prologue: “The Pegasus”
    The theme representing the Pegasus is first presented.
    0:32 2. Birth of Pegasus
    Pegasus springs from the neck of the ugly, snake-haired Medusa when she is killed by the hero, Perseus.
    1:21 3. Pegasus in Flight
    All who see the winged horse, long in vain to catch and tame the creature.
    3:04 4. Bellerophon Tames Pegasus
    With the help of the Goddess Athena, the prince Bellerophon captures and tames Pegasus, who proves to be of great service to his new master, aiding him in his many adventures.
    5:31 5. The Chimera
    Bellerophon and Pegasus encounter the Chimera, a fire breathing monster -- part lion, goat and serpent -- which slaughters all who attack it. Together, they defeat the beast and fly off in triumph.
    6:43 6. The Fall of Bellerophon
    Overcome with pride, Bellerophon attempts to ride Pegasus to the top of Mount Olympus to join the Gods. A gadfly sent by Zeus stings Pegasus, causing him to throw Bellerophon back to Earth, where he is left to wander alone for the rest of his life.
    7:29 7. Pegasus Ascends to Olympus
    Free again, Pegasus flies alone up to Olympus, where he is given shelter in the Olympian stalls.
    8:21 8. Epilogue
    A final musical reference to the constellation named after Pegasus, which is still seen in the night sky in modern times.

    This is the only song my whole orchestra class will all agree to play, we're always so pissed off whenever we're told we can't play it at a concert lol

      Thankfully you didn’t mess up 😭 one of my classmates messed up and they were the solo cello and my teachers face was red of embarrassment and all of us violinists looked at each other with wide eyes 😭😭
      Highschool orchestra is a nice memory of mines too :)
