Characters from Greek, Norse, and Roman mythology.
The Centaurs are half man, and half horse. Most are wild and savage, known for lustfulness and drunkenness. The exception is the Centaur Chiron who was the tutor for a number of famous Greek heroes (eg. Achilles). Chiron was the wisest and most just of all the Centaurs, and at his death Zeus placed him among the stars as the constellation Sagittarius.
