The Centaurs were half- horse creatures of ancient Greece and the spirits of the storm
The Centaurs were the offspring of Ixion, the king of Lapithae (Thessaly), and the rain cloud Nephele. Their head, arms and torso had the human shape and their lower part was that of a horse. Their diet was adjusted according to their physical shape.
The Centaurs were mainly living on the mount Pelion in Thessaly. With only few exceptions, such as Cheiron, the Centaurs were lawless, aggressive creatures and were usually drunk. The Centaurs were involved in a struggle with the Lapiths, known as "Centauromachy", when trying to intrude and cause trouble during the wedding feast of the Lapiths' King Peritheios with Ippodameia. The centauromachy caused the Centaurs' expelling from Thessaly.
In early Attic vase-paintings, the head and torso of a human joined at the (human's) waist to the horse's withers, where the horse's neck would be.
This half-human and half-animal composition has lead many writers to treat them as liminal beings, caught between the two natures, embodied in contrasted myths, of centaurs as the embodiment of untamed nature, as in their battle with the Lapiths, or conversely as teachers, as Chiron.
Most are wild and savage, known for lustfulness and drunkeness. The exception is the wise Centaur Chiron.
