| | Centaur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Like the Titanomachy, the defeat of the Titans by the Olympian gods, the contests with the Centaurs typify the struggle between civilization and barbarism. | | | Of the various Classical Greek authors who mentioned centaurs, Pindar was the first who describes undoubtedly a combined monster. | | | When Belleuse tackled the same play of forms in the 19th century, (illustration right) he titled it Abduction of Hippodameia. |

| | The same verse used to associate lust with horses was used to connect centaurs with this sin. | | | Archers, both centaur and human, represent Christ, the hunter of souls, especially when shown directing their arrows at peaceful creatures such as deer and birds. | | | As early Christians strove to modernize ancient pagan symbolism with Church teaching, the combination of the spiritual and the animal natures in the centaur-archer caused this image of Apollo and the sun to become a representation of Christ, the God-Man. |

| | By definition, the centaur is a creature, half man and half horse. | | | Nevertheless, the people of antiquity were too fond of horses to consider the union of horse and man as a degraded compound. | | | In fact, the centaur is the only of the fancied monsters of this time to be given any good traits. |

| | The Centaur Excavations at Volos |
| | The ancient Greeks, who generally represented centaurs as wild and promiscuous, used the metaphor of the half man, half horse to express the animal nature of humans. | | | In addition, the centaur could become the basis for fraternal rites of passage, a central motif in homecoming parades and the inspiration for a catalogue on the mytho-poetics of science. | | | From this perspective, the ancient Greek myth of the centaur, a half-human, half-horse creature which inhabited the forests of Thessaly represents a potent combination of human intelligence and animal desires. |

| | Mythography Centaurs in Myth and Art |
| | The ancients were too fond of a horse to consider the union of his nature with man's as forming a very degraded compound, and accordingly the Centaur is the only one of the fancied monsters of antiquity to which any good traits are assigned. | | | 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." | | | Hades resented this, and Zeus, at his request, struck the bold physician with lightening, and killed him, but after his death received him into the number of the gods. |

| | In astronomy and astrology, there are three different phenomena related to the Centaur: The two constellations of Centaurus and Sagittarius, the archer whose legend refers to the Centaurs, and a small planetoid which has been discovered in 1977 and given the name of Cheiron the wise Centaur. | | | Chiron is a major key to understanding, not only our solar system (in astronomy), but healing and wholemaking (in astrology.) It was discovered in 1977, and was so different from anything else ever found that a whole new category had to be invented for it. | | | What I like best is the list of contemporary books in which centaurs play an important role. |

| | Because centaurs cross the orbits of one or more of the giant outer planets, they are also known as outer planet crossers. | | | In the same way that centaurs, together with trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), may be considered to be protocomets, some comets, such as 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 and 39P/Oterma, have orbits that would allow them to be to be called centaurs. | | | The orbits of the centaurs are dynamically unstable due to interactions with the giant planets, so they must be objects in transition from a large, outer reservoir of small bodies, believed to be the Kuiper belt, to potentially active, comet-like inner solar system objects. |
