A Centaur killed by Herakles (Heracles).
While Herakles was in the service of his cousin, Eurystheus, he was required to capture a wild boar on Mount Erymanthus as his Fourth Labor; on his way to Mount Erymanthus, Herakles was the guest of the Centaur, Pholos; when Herakles and Pholos were enjoying some wine from a storage pithos, the other Centaurs became agitated and attacked Herakles; in his fury, Herakles accidentally killed Pholos and another Centaur, Kheiron (Chiron).
