Greek Hellenistic Gold Ring With Pegasus Ca. 400 BC.
Pegasus is a winged horse in Greek mythology, usually depicted as a white stallion. He was sired by Poseidon, in his role as horse-god, and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa. Pegasus was the brother of Chrysaor, both born from Medusa's blood when their mother was decapitated by Perseus. Greco-Roman poets wrote about his ascent to heaven after his birth and his obeisance to Zeus, who instructed him to bring lightning and thunder from Olympus.
Pegasus is the creator of Hippocrene, the fountain on Mount Helicon. He was captured by the Greek hero Bellerophon, near the fountain Peirene, with the help of Athena and Poseidon. Pegasus allowed Bellerophon to ride him in order to defeat the monster Chimera, which led to many more exploits. Bellerophon later fell from Pegasus's back while trying to reach Mount Olympus. Both Pegasus and Bellerophon were said to have died at the hands of Zeus for trying to reach Olympus. Other tales have Zeus bring Pegasus to Olympus to carry his thunderbolts.
Long honored as a constellation, Pegasus is a subject of very rich iconography, especially through ancient Greek pottery as well as paintings and sculptures of the Renaissance.

King with a Stubbled Beard
New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty, ca. 1280 B.C. From Western Thebes Now in the Walters Art Museum. 32.1
▫ A stubbled faced king is a rather peculiar sight in Ancient Egyptian art. Historians suggest the beard is a sign of mourning, growing out a beard is still common practices for mourning in varied cultures around the world until this very day.
French Egyptologist Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt demonstrated that the growth of the natural beard was reserved for times of mourning, specifically between the death of a person and funeral. On the day of the funeral ceremony, it is thought all male attendees shaved, and the official “time of mourning” was concluded. Based upon the features, it is generally agreed the 19th Dynasty king depicted is Seti I.
