Magnesian mares (dude must have been damned missing it), the centaurs are immortal creatures with the bust of a man and the body of a horse. Extremely violent and wine lovers, they kill, fight and rape every human they come across. Only 2 of them were good. Pholos, calm and friend with Heracles, and Chiron, wise and educated in medecine and the arts of war, who was the mentor of a lot of heroes. The Sagittarius sign is very often represented by a centaur brandishing a bow precisely as a tribute to the latter, having become a constellation after his death, having begged the gods to take his immortality away from him for the poison of an arrow accidentally shot by Heracles was making him suffer
