Pegasus - our school emblem

When, in Greek legends, the hero Perseus cut the head of the vile monster Medusa - there sprang from her body a winged horse called Pegasus - later to fly to the sky and be changed for ever into a constellation of stars by Zeus.

The Greeks report that a blow from Pegasus' hoof caused the Fountain of Knowledge of Hippocrena, sacred to The Muses, to spring up. The Muses were Greek Goddesses of literature learning, music and dancing.
