Centaurs were often considered to be wild, drunk, and sexual beings who tended to behave badly. Here, centaurs symbolized the animal side of the nature of human beings, a man with the lower body of a horse. But Chiron was different because while he was a centaur, he was also the son of the Greek god Titan, who impregnated a nymph.
