Slightly off topic too, but why is Pegasos so popular? There are tons of other magical horses in Greek myth, and some of them can even TALK!
Balios and Xanthos, for instance, the equine sons of the west wind Zephyros and the Harpy Aello. They were owned by Poseidon and then given as a wedding gift to Peleus when he was married to Thetis, and later they were inherited by Akhilles, drawing his chariot during the Trojan War. Only Patroklos could properly manage these horses, and when he was slain by Hektor on the battlefield, Balios and Xanthos stood and wept amidst the fray. When Xanthos was rebuked by the grieving Akhilles for allowing Patroklos to be slain, Hera granted Xanthos human speech which broke Divine law, saying that a god had killed Patroklos, and that a god would soon kill Akhilles too. After this, the Erinyes struck the poor horse dumb.
So yeah, even Akhilles' HORSES were demigods. Well, actually, full gods if I think about it. That guy had every bloomin' advantage.
