In fact I'm wondering if pegasus was a representation of something
well known in the past europe, like thunder, in some other cultures
thunder was certainly represented by dragons.
Human brain could have developped a language by using fictional
animals to describe physical phenomenons, and this language would
have been re-interpreted to something else by the immixtion of
different cultures.
Two snakes wrapped around a tree could have been how people
represented double layer structure in a plasma.
Fiction might refer to a reality becoming slightly different each time
it passes through the synaptic network of human brain, mostly when
parameters are missing for doing the computation.
That might be how we come to weird things like dark matter, when ignoring
electrical interaction at a galaxy scale well explained by Hannes Alfvén,
when he compare a galaxy with homopolar motors.
