He was a Liberator, freeing one from care and worry with wine, music and euphoria. His attributes in iconography include a drinking vessel, an ivy wreath, grape vines, and the thyrsos ( a long fennel stalk topped with ivy leaves). Although he is best known for the god of wine, he is also a vegetation deity, a god of liquid element, and the god of theatre. Pegasus was an immortal, winged horse which sprang from the neck of the beheaded Gorgon Medusa. With the help of Athena, who presented him with a golden bridle, Bellerophon tamed Pegasus and rode it into battle against the fire-breathing monster known as the Chimera. Later the hero attempted to fly to heaven but Zeus caused the horse to buck throwing him back down to earth in disgrace. Pegasus made his way on to Olympus where he became the thunderbolt-bearer of Zeus.
