Ossuary in the shape of a sarcophagus, ca 150-200 AD, from a workshop in Asia Minor. Here you see Bellerophon and Pegasus. It is interesting that this hero (probably) is less famous than his horse - a strange fate.
You can read one version of the story of Bellerophon in the Iliad (Book 6) even though Pegasus isn't mentioned in it.
