That Belle-rophon might he enabled to perform the exploitsrequired of him by the king of Lycia, he was pre-sented by Athena with a bridle as the means ofsubduing the winged horse Pegasus, who submittedto receive it whilst he was slaking his thirst at thefountain Peirene. See the annexed woodcut, from. an antique which represents this event, and com-pare Pindar, Olymp. xiii. 85—115. Such was theGrecian account of the invention of the bridle, andin reference to it Athena was worshipped atCorinth under the titles lirma and XaKiviris.(Paus. ii. 4. §§ 1, 5.) The several parts of thebridle, more especially the bit, are engraved fromancient authorities in the treatises of Invernizi(De Frenis), Ginzrot (Ueber Wagen), and BracyClark (Ckalinology, Lond. 1 835). The bit (orea, Festus, s. v.; 5?, Brunck,Anal. ii. 237 ; ctto/xlov, Aeschyl. Prom. 1045)was commonly made of several pieces, and flexible,so as not to hurt the horses mouth ; for the Greeksconsidered a kind and gentle treatment the bestdiscipline, although, when the horse was intract-able, they taught it submission by the use of a bitwhich was armed with protuberances resemblingwolves-teeth, and therefore called lupatum.
