Chiron: The Noble Centaur of Myth by arielcourtney is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Chiron was born from the union of the Titan Kronos disguised as a horse and the nymph Philyra. Unlike other violent and uncultured centaurs, Chiron was peaceful, intelligent and highly skilled in medicine. He taught many heroes including Achilles, Asclepius, and Jason. During a visit from Heracles, Chiron was accidentally shot with a poisoned arrow and unable to heal himself, sacrificed his immortality so that Prometheus could be freed. Chiron was honored in the sky as the constellation Centaurus.
