Belerofont in Himajra
1. Bellerophon, son of Glaucus, son of Sisyphus, accidentally killed his brother Deliades—or, as some say, Peiren, and others, Alcimenes—and went to Proetus to be purified. Stheneboea fell in love with him and sent him proposals of love. When he rejected her, she told Proetus that Bellerophon had sent her proposals to seduce her. Proetus believed her and gave him a letter to carry to Iobates, in which he had written instructions to put Bellerophon to death. After reading it, Iobates ordered him to kill the Chimaera, thinking that the beast would destroy him. For it was no easy prey, not merely for one man but even for many: it had the foreparts of a lion, the tail of a serpent, and in the middle a third head, that of a goat, through which it breathed fire. It ravaged the countryside and destroyed the livestock, for its single body possessed the strength of three beasts. This Chimaera is said to have been reared by Amisodarus, as Homer too relates, and to have been born of Typhon and Echidna, as Hesiod records.
2. Bellerophon therefore mounted Pegasus, the winged horse he possessed, born of Medusa and Poseidon, and soared aloft on him, shooting down the Chimaera with his arrows. After this contest, Iobates ordered him to fight the Solymi. When he had accomplished this task as well, he ordered him to fight the Amazons. And when he had killed them too, Iobates chose those Lycians reputed to be the bravest and ordered them to lie in ambush and kill him. But when he had killed every one of these as well, Iobates, marvelling at his prowess, showed him the letter and asked him to remain with him. He gave him his daughter Philonoe in marriage and, when he died, left him the kingdom.

Source ID: apollodorus_bib_2_3 Citation: Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 2.3 1. Βελλεροφόντης δὲ ὁ Γλαύκου τοῦ Σισύφου, κτείνας ἀκουσίως ἀδελφὸν Δηλιάδην, ὡς δέ τινές φασι Πειρῆνα, ἄλλοι δὲ Ἀλκιμένην, πρὸς Προῖτον ἐλθὼν καθαίρεται. καὶ αὐτοῦ Σθενέβοια ἔρωτα ἴσχει, καὶ προσπέμπει λόγους περὶ συνουσίας. τοῦ δὲ ἀπαρνουμένου, λέγει πρὸς Προῖτον ὅτι Βελλεροφόντης αὐτῇ περὶ φθορᾶς προσεπέμψατο λόγους. Προῖτος δὲ πιστεύσας ἔδωκεν ἐπιστολὰς αὐτῷ πρὸς Ἰοβάτην κομίσαι, ἐν αἷς ἐνεγέγραπτο Βελλεροφόντην ἀποκτεῖναι. Ἰοβάτης δὲ ἀναγνοὺς ἐπέταξεν αὐτῷ Χίμαιραν κτεῖναι, νομίζων αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τοῦ θηρίου διαφθαρήσεσθαι· ἦν γὰρ οὐ μόνον ἑνὶ ἀλλὰ πολλοῖς οὐκ εὐάλωτον, εἶχε δὲ προτομὴν μὲν λέοντος, οὐρὰν δὲ δράκοντος,
τρίτην δὲ κεφαλὴν μέσην αἰγός, διʼ ἧς πῦρ ἀνίει. καὶ τὴν χώραν διέφθειρε, καὶ τὰ βοσκήματα ἐλυμαίνετο· μία γὰρ φύσις τριῶν θηρίων εἶχε δύναμιν. λέγεται δὲ καὶ τὴν Χίμαιραν ταύτην τραφῆναι μὲν ὑπὸ Ἀμισωδάρου, καθάπερ εἴρηκε καὶ Ὅμηρος, γεννηθῆναι δὲ ἐκ Τυφῶνος καὶ Ἐχίδνης, καθὼς Ἡσίοδος ἱστορεῖ. 2. ἀναβιβάσας οὖν ἑαυτὸν ὁ Βελλεροφόντης ἐπὶ τὸν Πήγασον, ὃν εἶχεν ἵππον ἐκ Μεδούσης πτηνὸν γεγεννημένον καὶ Ποσειδῶνος, ἀρθεὶς εἰς ὕψος ἀπὸ τούτου κατετόξευσε τὴν Χίμαιραν. μετὰ δὲ τὸν ἀγῶνα τοῦτον ἐπέταξεν αὐτῷ Σολύμοις μαχεσθῆναι. ὡς δὲ ἐτελεύτησε καὶ τοῦτον, Ἀμαζόσιν ἐπέταξεν ἀγωνίσασθαι αὐτόν. ὡς δὲ καὶ ταύτας ἀπέκτεινε, τοὺς γενναιότητι Λυκίων
διαφέρειν δοκοῦντας ἐπιλέξας ἐπέταξεν ἀποκτεῖναι λοχήσαντας. ὡς δὲ καὶ τούτους ἀπέκτεινε πάντας, θαυμάσας τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ ὁ Ἰοβάτης τά τε γράμματα ἔδειξε καὶ παρʼ αὐτῷ μένειν ἠξίωσε· δοὺς δὲ τὴν θυγατέρα Φιλονόην καὶ θνήσκων τὴν βασιλείαν κατέλιπεν αὐτῷ.
