[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 9721162, member: 5833"]My first reaction was Perseus & Andromeda because she sure looks like a maiden in need of rescuing. But the crown & horse were out of place. I have to go with George & his dragon (does not require wings), even though his interaction with the rescued maiden is a bit steamy. I see in Debora's post that this is not out of character. Pegasus is not the horse of Perseus. Pegasus only comes into being when Perseus beheads Medusa. Perseus gives the horse to Athena, who is the first to tame Pegasus.
