Chiron was born from Cronus and the Oceanid Philyra, leading to his unique half-man, half-horse form. Abandoned by his mother, he was raised by Apollo, who taught him various disciplines including healing, music, and archery. Chiron became a renowned tutor, mentoring heroes like Perseus and Achilles. In contrast to the unruly nature of most centaurs, Chiron embodied wisdom and compassion. His healing arts were recognized during the Trojan War when Eurypylus sought assistance from Patroclus, referencing the knowledge passed down from Chiron.
Chiron was not just any centaur; he was the son of Cronus and an Oceanid named Philyra, possessing the upper body of a man and the lower body of a horse.
Chiron excelled in various fields such as healing, music, prophecy, archery, and hunting, becoming a highly sought-after tutor for many heroic figures.
Notorious for their unruliness, Chiron stood out as a wise and compassionate being, contrasting sharply with other centaurs.
Wounded in battle, Eurypylus called upon Patroclus to apply the healing techniques he learned from Achilles, who was taught by Chiron.
