Centaur and Satyrs, Legendary Creatures

A centaur was a mythological creature with the head, arms, and torso of a human and the body and legs of a horse, known for their lustfulness and drunkenness. The exception was the wise Centaur Chiron. The father of Centaurs was Centaurus, who was held in disrepute by both men and gods. He gave birth to the race of Centaurs by mating with Magnesian mares. In Greek mythology the satyrs are deities of the woods and mountains. They are half human and half beast; they usually have a goat's tail, flanks and hooves. While the upper part of the body is that of a human, they also have the horns of a goat. They are the companions of Dionysus, the god of wine, and they spent their time drinking, dancing, and chasing nymphs. The Roman version of the satyr is the faun.
