In Greek mythology, centaurs (from ancient Greek: - Kentauroi) are a race of creatures composed of a human part and a horse part. In early Attic vase paintings, they are depicted with the torso of a human joined at the waist to the horse's withers, where the horse's neck would be. This half-human, half-animal composition led many writers to treat them as liminal beings, caught between two natures, embodied in contrasting myths, both as incarnations of untamed nature, as in their battle against the Lapiths, or conversely as teachers, like Chiron. It was generally said that centaurs were born of Ixion and Nephele (the cloud made in Hera's image). Another version, however, makes them the children of a certain Centaurus, who mated with the Magnesian mares. This Centaur was either the son of Ixion and Nephele (instead of the Centaurs), or of Apollo and Stilbe, daughter of the river god Peneus. In the latter version of the story, his twin brother was Lapithus, ancestor of the Lapiths, thus making them cousins of the two warring peoples. Centaurs were said to have inhabited the region of Magnesia and Mount Pelion in Thessaly, Mount Pholoe in Arcadia, and the Malean Peninsula in southern Laconia. Centaurs continued to feature in Roman mythological literary forms. This sculpture was made using the lost wax method. It is on a black marble base. It is signed by B.
