ʻO Pegasus, ka lio nani nani o nā melekani Greek, mai kahi moʻomeheu i hoʻopiliʻia me nā mea ola - centaurs he hapalua kanaka a me ka hapalua lio,ʻehā - hapalua kanaka a me ka hapalua kao, furies a me nā harpies - he hapalua wahine a me ka hapalua o nā manu haehae, nā nahesa e'ōlelo ma ka waha o nā waha o ka hapalua mele e like me ka snake a me ka Oracle o Delphi.
Akā, ma ka'ōlelo Helene e pili ana i nā mea hihiu, he kū hoʻokahiʻo Pegasus.
ʻAʻole ia e'ōlelo. ʻAʻoleʻo ia he mea hoʻopunipuni i nā'ūpili, nā'ōlelo wahaheʻe a me nā luʻi no nā mea koa o kāna mau moʻolelo a akua paha i hoʻololi i ka ho'āʻoʻana e hoʻowalewale i nā'ōpio'ōpio. ʻO keʻano maʻalahi,ʻo Pegasus he lio mālie a hanohano keʻokeʻo ke hana me ka mahaloʻole a me ka kānaluaʻole no ka poʻe hoʻoholo nāna i hōʻeha iā ia. He lio ia i nāʻano kanaka e pili ana me nā lio - ka ikaika, kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ka wikiwiki.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, aia kekahi ma waena o Pegasus a me kāu mauʻula likeʻole; He naniʻo Pegasus i nā'ēheu a hiki iā ia ke lele.
ʻO Pegasus a me Bellerophon
Ua hoʻopaʻaʻiaʻo Pegasus i loko o nā moʻolelo moʻokalaleo akāʻo ka mea nui e pili ana i ka hopuʻia a me nā hana me Bellerophon. ʻO Bellerophon, ma o nā moʻolelo a pau, he keiki kino kanaka i loaʻa iā ia iho i kahi pōʻino ma o ka huiʻana me ka lede iʻoleʻo ia e hele pū me ka wahine a ke aliʻi. Ua honiʻo ia a haʻi.
ʻO kekahi me kekahi mea aʻo kekahi, ua hoʻonohoʻiaʻo Bellerophon i kekahi mau hana kūponoʻole e kūʻai aiʻo ia iā ia iho a iʻole e make paha e ho'āʻo nei (ʻo ia mau moʻolelo o ka Bellerophon myth.
Ua hoʻounaʻiaʻo Bellerophon e pepehi i ka Chimera, he mea puhi ahi me ka kino o ke kao, ke poʻo o ka liona a me ka huelo o ka nahesa (kekahi o nā mea i'ōlelo muaʻia e mākou). Ma keʻano o kaʻimi o kona koa, ua hālāwaiʻo ia me kekahi meaʻike mai Korinetia mai, nāna i haʻi aku iā ia e hopu i nā lio'ēheu e hoʻopau i kāna hana.
Ua hoʻokuʻuʻia nā lio'ēheu ma kahi kokoke i Peirene Fountain, i hānaiʻia e kahi punawai Pegasus i hoʻokuʻu iā ia iho, ma ke kīkēʻana i ka honua me kona mau māiʻuʻu. Pono ke kanaka e kōkua i ke kōkua o Athena,ʻo ia ka mea iʻikeʻia.
Ua hiamoeʻo Bellerophon ma ka luakini o'Anena a moe iholaʻo ia i kahi kaula gula e kāʻili ai iā Pegasus. I kona alaʻana, aia ka'ā'ī gula ma konaʻaoʻao. E like me ka wānanaʻana, ua loaʻa iā Pegasus kokoke i kona pūnāwai, a hoʻopaʻaʻia a hoʻopaʻaʻiaʻo ia a hele aku e pepehi i ka Chimera.
ʻO Brave Pegasus a me ka Fire Breathing Monster
No ka pepehiʻana i ka puhi ahi a Chimera, ua hanaʻo Bellerophon i kahi'ūmahu wela nui, ulaʻula o ke kēpau a kauʻia ma ka hope o kāna ihe. Ma Pegasus, ua holo pololeiʻo ia ma kahi o ka mōneka.ʻAʻole i hāʻule ke lio kūpaʻa i ka waha o ka lapalapa ahi a pahu i kāna ihe i hoʻoheheʻeʻia i loko o ka waha o Chimera, ua pau ka Chimera i kona mau ahi i puhiʻia e ke kila wela.
Ma hope o kēia lanakila, heleʻo Pegasus lāuaʻo Bellerophon ma nā hanana'ē aʻe (e like me kā mākou i'ōlelo ai, he moʻolelo'ē aʻe,ʻo kekahi manawa'ē aʻe), akā, e like me ka nui o nā mea moʻomeheu,ʻo Bellerophon kālā, i hānaiʻia e nā lanakila a pau, hoʻomakaʻo ia e pehu. Ua hoʻoholoʻo ia he akuaʻo ia a kūpono i kahi e kū ai ma ka maunaʻo Olympus, a no laila, kauʻo ia i luna o kāna mea hilinaʻiʻo Pegasus, e noho pū me nā akua'ē.
ʻO Zeus, ke poʻo poʻo i Olympus, ua huhūʻiaʻo Bellerophon hubris. Hoʻounaʻo ia i kahi lāʻau hahau e hahau aiʻo Pegasus nāna i hānai a hoʻolei iā Bellerophon a hāʻule ka koa i ka honua.
Pegasus a me nā akua
Ua liloʻo Pegasus i kauwā na Zeus, ke aliʻi o nā akua a pau. Ma kēlāʻano, ua laweʻo ia i ka hekili a me ka uila mai ka lewa mai ka kauoha a Zeus. He hoa hoʻiʻo ia no ka Muses a i ka wā e pōmaikaʻi aiʻo Poseidon, kona makuakāne, ua hahauʻo ia i ka maunaʻo Helicon, ka maunaʻo Muses, me nā manamana wāwae e lawe mai i ka Hippocrene Spring. Uaʻikeʻia ka piʻiʻana o ka mauna i nā mele a Muses. Aia ma kekahiʻanoʻokoʻa'ē aʻe e kuhikuhi ana ma kahi a Pegasus i hahau ai i ka lepo, e ulu mai ka wai maʻemaʻe.
I ka hopena, ua ukuʻo Zeus iā Pegasus no nā makahiki o kona kūpaʻaʻoiaʻiʻo ma ka hoʻohuliʻana iā ia i ka hōkū ma ka Northern sky e halihali ana i kona inoa.
ʻO nā Pegasus Origins a me nā Malamaʻana o nāʻohana
Aia kekahi mau moʻolelo pilikino likeʻole no nā lio'ēheu, no ka mea, he mau kaupale i nāʻano likeʻole e like me mua a ma mua paha o ka Helene kahiko. Aia nā moʻolelo e pili ana i nā lio'ēheu i nā kiʻiʻAsuria, ma nā moʻolelo Persian - kahi āna i kapaʻia aiʻo Pegaz - a ma ka moʻomeheu o nā Luwians, kahi Bronze a me Iron Age makahiki e noho i nā wahi o Europe a me Asia Minor.
Ma ka'ōlelo Helene, ua hānauʻiaʻo Pegasus e Poseidon, ke akua Helene o ke kai, a ua hānauʻiaʻo Medusa, ke keʻakeʻa me ke poʻo e haehae ana i nā moʻo. Wahi a nā moʻolelo i kaulana loa,ʻo Perseus - kekahi kanaka Helene - pepehiʻo Medusa ma kaʻokiʻana i kona poʻo,ʻo Pegasus a me kona hoahānauʻo Chrysaor, ua ulu nui mai kona koko i hoʻokaheʻia. ʻAʻohe mea i loheʻia e Chrysaor i nā moʻolelo ma hope.
