Centaur- The centaur is a creature of
Greek mythology that is half horse and half human, generally
with head arms and torso of a human and the rest of the body of
a horse. Most centaurs were noted for their bad behavior,
especially after drinking even a small amount of wine which
seemed to drive them mad. They were known, at times, to ravage
women. Not all centaurs were wild and lawless, however, and one
named Chiron was well known for his wisdom. According to
legend, he was a teacher of medicine and music and tutored many
heroes. |
