He was "the greatest hero and slayer of monsters, alongside Cadmus and Perseus, before the days of Heracles",[1] and his greatest feat was killing the Chimera, a monster that Homer depicted with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail: "her breath came out in terrible blasts of burning flame."[2] He is also known for capturing the winged horse Pegasus with the help of Athena's charmed bridle, and earning the disfavour of the gods after attempting to ride Pegasus to Mount Olympus to join them.[3] Euripides' Bellerophon[edit] The replacement of Bellerophon by the more familiar culture hero Perseus was a development of Classical times that was standardized during the Middle Ages and has been adopted by the European poets of the Renaissance and later.[32] ^ By some accounts, Bellerophon's father was really Poseidon.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9747.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9747.txt
