Notes:

The Pegasus is a mythical winged horse, please refer to this entry for more: Meaning of Pegasus, the Winged Horse

Bellerophon is a hero in Greek mythology.

Man and Pegasus sculpture listed only under Sweden. The location of the copies are listed there as well.

This list is on Pegasus statues, other statues are included if I think they are linked to the winged horse statues. There maybe other statues at the same location, however these will not be listed.

Does not include statues in private gardens.

If you know of any Pegasus statues that you think should be in the list, but are not please contact me. Please do not contact me if you have seen one on someones front lawn or in their back garden.
