Pegasus's Clique: Winged Wonders

Pegasus's Clique: Winged Wonders

This group just loves to soar the friendly skies. You can catch them winging their way from class to class, and after school, their feet barely touch the ground. Pegasus is the mascot for this high-flying group. The famous winged horse is stamped on all their T-shirts, and some members even have huge Pegasus tattoos. It's pretty intense.

Daedalus and Icarus

Daedalus, the famous inventor, became one of the first humans ever to fly the friendly skies when he escaped imprisonment on Crete by flapping away on wings he made out of wax and feathers. It worked out great for him, but not so great for his son Icarus, who flew off with him. Despite his Dad's warnings, Icarus soared too close to the sun, which melted the wax in his wings and caused him to fall to his death in the sea. Womp womp.

Sirens

These sexy ladies are often confused with mermaids, but they're actually half bird instead of fish. The Sirens are most famous for their gorgeous, mesmerizing songs. We don't recommend downloading any of their tracks anytime soon, though. Their songs may have been beautiful, but they also hypnotized sailors, luring them to their deaths on jagged rocks. Yikes.

Harpies

The Harpies are kind of like the Sirens' disgusting cousins. These bird ladies have disgusting warty faces, matted hair, and dirty stinking feathers. Their favorite thing to do is snatch food off of people's tables and then poop on the leftover crumbs. We are absolutely not making this up.

Eros (Cupid)

Come Valentine's Day, you see this little winged guy everywhere. Eros, the Greek god of desire, was the son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. He spends most of his time fluttering around and causing trouble with his love-inducing golden arrows.

Hraesvelg

However you pronounce this, Hraesvelg is an eagle from Norse mythology that hangs out on ice mountains and flaps his wings to send super cold winds. Don't mess with him.

Ashur

Ashur was an Assyrian god of war, who had four wings and the head of an eagle. He started out as a puny god of the city of Assur, but gained in popularity until he became one of the big deal gods. So, yeah, his OkCupid gets mad hits.

Garuda

This Indian deity was a god of the sun and had the head and claws of an eagle. The main thing to know about him is that he hated snakes. Like, hated them.
