Description: Many years ago, during the time when legends and myths 

were born, lived fascinating creatures were said to be half men, half 

horse, with a quick temper and lusty nature. 

In Greek mythology centaurs were said to be off-springs of the gods. 

One centaur in particular especially fascinated me. 

He was said to be the wisest and noblest of them all, and known for his 

skill in medicine, incantations, and in skill of the hunt. 

Legends say he taught many Greek heroes, including Achilles. 

It was later said that Zeus immortalized Chiron into the stars, later 

becoming the constellation of the Sagittarius.
