A race of beasts having the head, trunk and arms of a man but with the body of a horse.
Centaurs are noted for a variety of noble and depraved acts but when they provoked the Lapithae they more or less ended their habitation of the slopes of Mount Pelion and were forced to dwell on the Peloponnesian Peninsula; the “most noble” of the Centaurs was Kheiron (Chiron) who was the teacher of the heroes: Asklepios (Asclepius), Iason (Jason) and Akhilleus (Achilles).
