Misleading direction
[edit]Chris troutman, this is not an issue of her having the same notability, as much as an issue in spelling. Would a disambiguation work better for you? Pegasis (with an "I") being a water nymph and her own tie-ins to culture, her husband, a prince, and prodigy, a warrior son, is clearly different from and not to be confused with a horse, fantastically winged, or not— think of the children, spelling is important.

- @WurmWoode: Redirection was an alternative to deletion. You refused. Now I'm just nominating it for deletion. Next time, discuss with me prior to reverting me. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:21, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

- Yes, Granicus is a river, and
"Next his weapon pierc'd Atymnius, whom the nymph with golden locks, Bright Pegasis, to brave Emalion bore, Where deep Granicus rolls his lucid stream"
[1] (or the Delphi version"To strong Emathion by Granicus' stream"
) says that Emalion was born by it, but it doesn't establish Granicus as the father of Pegasis. The Greek Mythology Link does mention him as a river god, but doesn't mention Pegasis. --tronvillain (talk) 20:24, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
