This is a scene from ancient Greek mythology where the hero Bellerophon slays the beast Chimera from the back of his winged steed Pegasus. As Chimera had inpenetrable skin, the only way he could defeat it was by tying a block of lead to the end of his spear and shoving it into Chimera's mouth. When she breathed fire, the lead melted into her stomache and killed her.
