Which mythological creature is half man, half horse?
Correct answer: Centaur
Aristrougi
Centaurs lived in lush forests mainly on Mt Pelion. Centaur Heiron was the wise teacher of Jason and of Asclepius. He is the one who taught Asclepius all the secret medicinal powers of the plants thus beginning the science of medicine. Asclepius was the father of Hippocrates, father of modern medicine. I am Greek and I find Greek Mythology is fascinating but so are all mythologies all over the world. They have so many similar themes!

I’ve never really read much on mythology but I think I’ll start after this. Sounds very interesting.

BudTuggly, Minotaur was half man half bull and was only one. He lived in a labyrinth in Crete. The Centaurs were a tribe of mythical creatures.

Aristrougi, sagittarius. Named for Cheron, a centaur who taught Hercules, Jason and Achilles the art of the bow and arrow.

The first Centaur I remember was in the cartoon "Hercules". This was back in the late 60s.

CENTAURS WERE INCLUDED IN THE NARNIA BOOKS AND MOVIES AMONG OTHER MYTHICAL CREATURES. I LIKE MYTHOLOGY.

Aristrougi, bravo! Heiron was teacher of Achilles too. Another well known centaur was Nessos who gave the venomous tunic to Heracles caused almost the death of the hero!

Deb The Web Head, good idea. What are the best books in easiest to read is by a person, a woman I believe, with the last name of Hamilton.
