Winged horse of Greek myth

Answer:

PEGASUS

Hint:

This legendary creature was born from the blood of Medusa and later helped the hero Bellerophon in battle.

Explanation:

This clue refers to Pegasus, the famous winged horse from Greek mythology. Born from the blood of Medusa after Perseus beheaded her, Pegasus is often depicted as a pure white stallion with wings, symbolizing speed and divine inspiration. The name directly matches the description, so no wordplay is involved—just a straightforward reference to a well-known mythological creature. If you’re familiar with Greek legends or constellations (Pegasus is also a star pattern), the answer should come easily.
