Well....neither of them are really. For one in mythology Pegasus is the son of Poseidon and Medusa and doesn't show up till after Medusa's head is cut off. He and Chrysoar (his uh er twin brother sorta) were both born after Perseus cut off her (Medusa was in her horse form at the time...so uh yeah) head. Either springing forth from the head itself, growing from the blood on the ground or the sea. Neither film shows Pegasus' birth

Spoiler:

and in the new one there's a whole herd of Pegasi.
