My guess is that it is important because first Bellerophon was a great warrior and Pegasus was his legendary horse, but soon Bellerophon became full of pride and thought he was to good for earth. He commanded Pegasus to fly op to Mt. Olympus. Zeus sent a fly to bite Pegasus, which resulted in Pegasus to throw Bellerophon down back to earth. This shows that pride will cause you to fall.
