HELP!!!! what were pegasus characteristics?

"A body of pure silver and wings that shines with the sun". That's the full physical description description of the Pegasus by the poet Ovid. It's one of the most elusive creatures in Greek mythology, with only once instance in which it is caught through the aid of the gods: by Bellephron in defeating the famed Chimera. It sprang full-bodied from the severed neck of Medusa when Perseus killed her. It was said that the Pegasus was an offspring of Poseidon and Medusa. It has a twin brother, the Chrysaor, which is a winged boar. It is said that everytime it lands on Gaea (earth), a fresh spring burst out.
