By Mark Farquharson
The Pegasus is a mythical winged horse, please refer to this entry for more: Meaning of Pegasus, the Winged Horse
Books: There are loads of fantasy books, and a number of those would have winged horses in them. I will not be listing these books, as I do not think it would be helpful, nor would I know of the books that have winged horses in them.
Please contact me if you think of any other use that is not included in the list. Do not contact me if it is included in a fantasy book or other literature work, unless you do think it is important.
