Gameplay

Bellerophon is the hardest-hitting Greek hero, doing the most damage with his regular attack and with his special leap attack doing a whopping 60 damage, which combined with his multiplier allows him to kill many myth units in one hit. His attack bonus against myth units is slightly lower that other Greek Heroes but will still destroy them with ease. His leap attack is also useful for going behind the enemy frontline to tear apart archers and especially long-range siege weapons. Like other Greek heroes, he is well rounded with no real weaknesses.

Mythology

"◆ Age -- 18
◆ Homeland -- Corinth
◆ Occupation -- Prince and equestrian
The son of a king of Corinth, a city noted for horses, Bellerophon was trained from youth to be the great horseman of his age. At the age of sixteen, he set out for adventure, but a jealous rival tricked him into undertaking the dangerous quest of killing the Chimera. This fire-breathing beast was terrorizing the countryside of Lycia, carrying off people and livestock. A local seer instructed Bellerophon to pray to Athena and sleep in her temple. In a dream, the goddess told Bellerophon of a golden bridle that could be used to catch the Pegasus. When he awoke he had the bridle, with which he caught the Pegasus drinking at the Pirene well. He was able to control the beast thanks to the bridle and his equestrian skill. Together they flew to the Chimera's lair, where he used a spear to lodge a lump of lead in its throat. The Chimera's fiery breath melted the lead, which choked the beast to death. After several other adventures, Bellerophon married a princess of Lycia and eventually became king. His thirst for adventure returned, however, and then he arrogantly attempted to reach Olympus on Pegasus. An angry Zeus sent a gadfly to bite Pegasus and Bellerophon was thrown off. Though Athena spared him by having him fall onto soft ground, he wandered alone for the rest of his life, searching for Pegasus, and died a lame beggar."
