## Resource

Discover the myth of Bellerophon, the hero who battled and killed the Chimera monster atop the winged horse Pegasus.--Shielded from the gorgon’s stone gaze, Perseus crept through Medusa’s cave. When he reached her, he drew his sickle and brought it down on her neck. From Medusa's neck sprung two children. One was a giant wielding a golden sword; the other was the magnificent, winged horse, Pegasus. No bridle could contain him— until one fateful day. Iseult Gillespie details the myth of the hero Bellerophon.Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by Karina Forero, Lucy Animation Studio.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-myth-of-pegasus-and-the-chimera-iseult-gillespieDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-myth-of-pegasus-and-the-chimera-iseult-gillespie#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://karinaxforero.wixsite.com/portafolio---------------------------------------------- Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
