Mythology:
In Greek mythology, the hero Pegasus, was a winged horse with magical powers. It was not easy to tame Pegasus. The hero Bellerophon however, managed to do this, due to a big part of intemperance, and thereby got Pegasus as his horse. He had set his mind to do it, and the ladies and gentleman of Olympus had sent him to end the outrage that the horse was causing. After the death of his children in battle, Bellerophon asked Pegasus to take him to Mount Olympus. Though Pegasus agreed, he plummeted back to Earth after Zeus either threw a thunderbolt at him or made Pegasus buck him off.
