The romans (the poet Ovid) changed the history to make Medusa being forced by Poseidon, but the greeks belived that Medusa was always a monster (daughter of the sea gods Phorcis and Keto), and she laid with Poseidon with consentment, thus leading to Pegasus and Crisaor when she was killed.

    There are many stories in Greek myth about mortals who fail in their endeavor to reach the gods. Bellerophon, Icarus, Phaeton. I see it as a metaphor about individuals who their reach exceeds their grasp. In my view, their failure isn't a bad thing, what matters is daring greatly. The American classicist and teacher Edith Hamilton offered this as Phaeton’s epitaph:
    Here Phaeton lies who in the sun-god’s chariot fared.
    And though greatly he failed, more greatly he dared.

Poseidon was the father for both), and they had an unbreakable bond of kinship. Philia. Bellerophon was still a tale of Hubris in the end, with the same fate, but originally, in this telling, he really started off as just a cool dude.

    OKAY, okay, GLARING OUT OF ORDER EVENTS HERE! Bellerophon didn't tame Pegasus until AFTER Iobates sent him to kill the Chimera! He met a seer on his way who told him he'd need Pegasus to defeat the creature and that he'd need Athena's help. He directed Bellerophon to Athena' temple where she gave him the bridle. THEN he Tamed Pegasus and fought the Chimera. Also, Bellerophon didn't ASPIRE to be a god until after his many victories and fame fed his arrogance.

      Being the son of a god didn't make one entitled to divinity in Hellenistic Greek Mythology. Tantalus was Zeus' son, and he got sent to Tartarus.
