[Intro]
\n(This is hubris)
\nAt odds…
\n(Of living with the gods)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nTo tame Pegasus
\n(Fly through the sky)
\nAbove all of us
\n(Gonna give ‘er a try)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nWithout a doubt
\n(Bellerophon will win)
\nOr he’ll find out
\n(How mortal’s sin)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\n(This is hubris)
\nAt odds…
\n(Of living with the gods)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nA false idle
\n(The golden bridle)
\nThe horse’s tale
\n(An ultimate fail)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\n[Bridge]
\n[Outro]
\nPegasus flew
\n(Pride grew)
\nThis is hubris’s
\n(Nemesis)
\nAt odds…
\n(Of living with the gods)<\/p>\n
ABOUT THE SONG
\nBellerophon was considered one of the greatest heroes of the generation before Heracles. Like his grandfather Sisyphus, his story is a famous “cautionary tale” about the dangers of hubris (extreme pride). <\/p>\n
Origin and the Taming of Pegasus
\n Double Parentage: He was the son of Eurynome and either King Glaucus of Corinth or the sea god Poseidon.
\n The Golden Bridle: After failing to catch the winged horse Pegasus, Bellerophon slept in the temple of Athena. He dreamt the goddess gave him a golden bridle, and upon waking, he found the physical object beside him.
\n The Capture: He used the magical bridle to tame Pegasus while the horse drank from the Fountain of Peirene in Corinth. <\/p>\n
