Bellerophon

Bellerophon was a great Greek hero.

Background
Athena once gave a magic bridle (once used by Perseus) to Bellerophon to help him in his task of killing the Chimaera. Later, Bellerophon tried to ride Pegasus up Mount Olympus, but the winged horse threw him off down the mountain and escaped. Bellerophon did not live happily ever after. He was doomed to spend the rest of his life wandering the world as an outcast, lame and shunned by all.
