A Centaur who fought against the Lapith spear-men.
The Lapithae were the residents of Thessaly near Mount Pelion; when king Pirithous was having the wedding feast for his daughter, Hippodamia, the neighboring Centaurs raided the festivities and tried to kidnap Hippodamia.
A war between the Lapithae and Centaurs resulted and the Lapithae eventually drove the Centaurs from the area of Mount Pelion.
His name may also be rendered as Asbolus.
