Flying Horses

In the automotive section of this past Sunday's edition of the New York Times, I read a review of the Hyundai Equus, because, of course, I was attracted by the name of the car. The reviewer was puzzled by the logo of the Equus, because he thought the logo was a bird. When I showed the logo (via my new SmartBoard) to my Latin 3 class on Monday, one clever student remarked that the logo is actually Pegasus, the mythological flying horse. Upon closer inspection and when I squinted my eyes, I, too, thought that Pegasus is what the Hyundai designers had in mind. You also may ponder the Equus logo here. For lots of information about Pegasus, his origin and adventures, check the article found here.
