# The Chimæra

A winged horse. A fire-breathing monster. A young hero determined to accomplish the impossible.

Bellerophon dreams of capturing Pegasus, the magnificent horse who soars freely through the skies and drinks from the enchanted Fountain of Pirene. With the help of a mysterious stranger and a magical golden bridle, the young hero finally earns the trust of the elusive creature—and discovers that an even greater adventure awaits.

Far away, the terrifying Chimæra is ravaging the countryside. Part lion, part goat, and part serpent, the monstrous beast breathes fire and has defeated every warrior sent against it.

Mounted on Pegasus, Bellerophon takes to the skies for a battle unlike any fought before. Courage, perseverance, and the extraordinary bond between hero and winged horse will determine whether the terrible creature can finally be defeated.

Originally published in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s 1851 collection *A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys*, *The Chimæra* is a lively retelling of the ancient Greek legend of Bellerophon and Pegasus. Filled with wonder, adventure, and mythic imagination, it remains an engaging introduction to classical mythology for listeners of all ages.
