It was Perseus’ fatal blow
from Medusa blood you arose.
with Athena’s golden bridle,
caught and tamed by Bellerophon.
Mounted you were invincible
conquering Chimera and Amazons.
Bellerophon’s faithful companion
until he angered the gods.
ride to Mount Olympus he tried,
refused, he fell to earth lame and blind.
the stars was your new destination
and stayed as a constellation.
