Chrysaor was the brother of the winged horse Pegasus and son of Poseidon and the Gorgon Medusa.
When Medusa was decapitated by Perseus, both Chrysaor and Pegasus were born at the same time. Little is known about Chrysaor; he was considered a stout-hearted warrior, and his name means "he who bears a golden sword". He did not have a major role in Greek mythology.
