Pegasus is a majestic winged horse of Greek mythology, said to have been born from the blood of the Gorgon Medusa when she was killed by the hero Perseus. This magnificient creature, with its flowing mane and powerful wings, embodies freedom, divine inspiration, and the pursuit of the impossible. Even the gods marveled at Pegasus's beauty, power, and grace as he was a creature unlike any other - a symbol of untamed majesty and divine power. Zeus recognized Pegasus with honor, and tasked the creature with carrying his thunderbolts, the very symbols of Zeus's power and authority.
Pegasus is also intrinsically linked to the Muses - the nine Muses are ancient Greek personifications of the arts and knowledge. It is said that the Muses inspired art, literature, and all creative endeavors. According to myth, where ever Pegasus’s hooves touch the earth it would create a spring, and the Hippocrene Fountain on Mt. Helicon was the spring created to prevent the mountain swelling with the rapture of song from the muses. The Pegasides (aka the Muses) would live around the springs and often immersed themselves in the waters when tired or in need of fresh inspiration. This spring became later known as the source of all poetic inspiration. Many poets traveled to the spring to drink its water and enjoy its inspiration.
Our Pegasus bar features a top of sparkling, fluffy white clouds amidst golden rays of sun hovering over a fresh green base accented by white "wings" outlined in shimmering gold. When two bars are placed side by side, the effect is magickal! Pegasus' outstretched wings shine in stunning fashion!
Pegasus is scented in a refreshing and bold aromatic palette of zesty lime and fresh cucumber, delicately sweetened by juicy melon. It's a classic combo that will evoke a sense of nostalgia and cheery summer vibes!
