In Greek
mythology, a centaur (from Greek:
Κένταυρος, Kéntauros) or
hippocentaur[1][2][3]
is a member of a composite race of creatures, part human
and part horse. In
early Attic and
Boeotian
vase-paintings
(see below),
they are depicted with the hindquarters of a horse attached to them;
in later renderings centaurs are given the torso of a human joined at
the waist to the horse's withers,
where the horse's neck would be.
