History of the competition-game Pegasus

The first competition was held in 2013. Then schoolchildren from 2.5 thousand educational institutions, in 2016, students from 4.3 thousand schools participated in the competition. Then the competition became international.

The name of the literary competition was not chosen by chance. In myths Ancient Greece the winged horse Pegasus is a symbol of inspiration and a favorite of the muses.

Pegasus was born from the head of the Gorgon Medusa cut off by Perseus. By the way, we recommend reading the myth "Brave Perseus" translated by Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky on our website.

Pegasus flew with the speed of the wind, lived in the mountains. With a blow of his hoof, he knocked out a source on Mount Helikon, where the poets drew inspiration, it is not in vain that they say about the poets "saddled Pegasus."

Subsequently, Pegasus delivered thunder and lightning from Hephaestus to Olympus to Zeus himself. And later it was placed in the form of the constellation Horse in the sky.

The Pegasus game is part of the programs of the Russian Academy of Education "Artist and Book" and "Productive Game Contests".

The Olympics of each year has its own theme and motto. For example, the motto of the Pegasus 2018 competition was the title of the poem by Titus Lucretius Cara "DE RERUM NATURA: Not what you think, nature ...". The Roman Titus saw the nature of things in the freedom of their existence and the pursuit of great goals.

The theme of the 2018 competition is the knowledge of nature, that is, the experiments of naturalists, the observations of naturalists, as well as the insights of scientists. One way or another, writers and poets penetrate deeper into the essence of nature. How did people perceive nature? different countries at different times? What is the meaning of the word nature? The participants of the 2018 Pegasus game had to think about these questions.

Pegasus Olympics 2019

The theme of the Pegasus 2019 Olympiad is adventure and travel, which have excited people since ancient times. Why did people go on long journeys? What travelers thought, as well as poets and writers who chose the genre of their works - travel. The questions of the 2019 contest will leave the participants to think about it.

The motto of the game 2019 is a quote from the English poet Alfred Tennyson from the poem "Ulysses": "Fight and seek, find and not give up!".

Pegasus Olympics 2020

The theme of the Pegasus 2020 Olympiad will be closely related to the most diverse aspects of the mutual influence of Russian and French literature. About how French literature influenced the familiar works of A.S. Pushkin, L.N. Tolstoy, A.S. Griboedov, Dostoevsky. Also in the competition there will be questions related to the biography of authors who were associated with France.
