Centaur-Matthew Probert's Encyclopedia. Image Used With Permission. Centaurs were the half-man and half-horse creatures of mythology. Aside from the popular centaurs of myth (Chiron) they are best known for the famous battle. The centaurs were pushed from their home of Thessly and went to Mount Pindus.

Birth: Ixion was in love with Hera, which in turn made Zeus jealous. Being that both Zeus and Hera were jealous gods, they each sought to thwart the other in love attempts. Zeus made a likeness of Hera out of a cloud and called her Nephele. Ixion thought the creature was Hera and in turn made love to her. This produced a son named Centaurus. Centaurus then mated with the mares of Thessaly and produced the centaurs in turn.

Depicted: The Centaurs were usually depicted as the drunken followers of Dionysus, except for the famous tutor Chiron.

Father: Centaurus

Famous Centaurs: Chiron
