Centaur in action (from the Parthenon, south metopes)

The Greek Temple: Architectural terms

Plan of the Parthenon

Inside the Parthenon On Athena’s shield: outside: Amazonomachy inside: Gigantomachy On Athena’s sandals: Centauromachy

Ixion, one of the “Great Sinners,” is the grandfather of the Centaurs

Ixion commits 2 fundamental crimes: He undermines his own marriage by killing his kinsman, his future father-in-law, simply out of greediness, in order not to have to give a gift in exchange for the bride: He sins against marriage itself by trying to seduce the goddess of marriage, Hera

Ixion’s seduction misfires Ixion is made to mate with Nephele (“cloud”); i.e., he is made to unite with an illusion, something not really there, not real.

A genealogy founded on illusion and deceit Ixion- Nephele Centaurus (not a horse) - Mares Centaurs

Anatomy of a split marriage Nephele - Ixion - Dia- Zeus CentaurusPirithoos (king of the Lapiths)

A battle between two sets of distant cousins, Centaurs and Lapiths (pictured here on the west pediment of the temple of Zeus at Olympia)

Nessos: the paradigmatic “bad” Centaur

Chiron: educator, healer, the “good” Centaur (here pictured receiving young Achilles from Peleus)

The Education of Achilles (Eugène Delacroix, 1862) Chiron teaches his most famous pupil the art of archery

Chiron and Achilles (John Singer Sargent, )

Achilles and the Centaur Chiron. (Pompeo Girolamo Batoni, 1746)
