The myth of Pegasus provided Pontano with the opportunity to glorify the horse Aganippus, to whom the poet himself reserved the privilege of stellificatio. Pontano also built his own self-celebration around the myth, acquiring the image of the winged horse as a metaphor for flight to the heights of achievement and poetic inspiration.

Abstract

The myth of Pegasus provided Pontano with the opportunity to glorify the horse Aganippus, to whom the poet himself reserved the privilege of stellificatio. Pontano also built his own self-celebration around the myth, acquiring the image of the winged horse as a metaphor for flight to the heights of achievement and poetic inspiration.
