A
Pegasus
💡 Explanation:
Pegasus is the famous winged horse from Greek mythology, born from the blood of Medusa after Perseus beheaded her. Poseidon is indeed cited as Pegasus's father in some versions of the myth. Perseus was the hero who killed Medusa, not related to Pegasus by birth. The Minotaur was half-man half-bull, and the Trojan Horse was a wooden siege engine, not a living creature.
