Which mythical winged horse was born from Medusa's severed neck?

• A. Unicorn
• B. Chimera
• C. Pegasus
• D. Gryphon

Answer: (C)

In Greek myth, when Medusa was beheaded, two beings sprang from her neck: Pegasus, the winged horse, and Chrysaor. The winged horse among them is Pegasus, which is why this is the correct answer. The other creatures listed—unicorns, chimera, and gryphons—come from different myths and traditions and are not described as being born from Medusa’s severed neck. Pegasus later becomes famous as the mount of heroes like Bellerophon, linking him to stories about courageous flight and adventure.
