 Chiron, the Centaur

Chiron, in Greek mythology,

A centaur, the most wise and just,

Man head and arms, with horse body,

A teacher, students leaned to trust.

Immortal from his divine birth,

He taught mortals his healing skill

From using herbs grown in the earth.

Much good knowledge he did instill.

His immortality, he gave

Up willingly to the gods' ire,

Mortal Prometheus to save

From death for stealing the gods' fire.

Half brother, Zeus, honored him by

Placing Centaurus in the sky.
