Which mythical winged horse was born from Medusa's severed neck?

• A. Unicorn
• B. Chimera
• C. Pegasus
• D. Gryphon

Answer: (C)

Pegasus is the winged horse of Greek myth who sprang from Medusa’s blood after Perseus beheaded her. That direct link—the birth from Medusa’s severed neck—makes Pegasus the right answer. It’s the famous creature seen as a symbol of inspiration and flight, and it even accompanies heroes like Bellerophon in their adventures. The other legendary beings don’t share this origin story: a unicorn is a later European mythic horse with a horn, the Chimera is a multi-headed monster, and a gryphon (griffin) is a lion-eagle hybrid.
