The Centaurs are so popular because they are totally unpredictable and wild. There were the good and the bad ones; some of them would often be drunk and violent, eating raw flesh and drinking too much wine. They were usually followers of God Dionysus, who always wanted drunk and festive followers and servants.

What is a Centaur?

Where the live

Centaur, Greek Kentauros, in Greek mythology, a race of creatures, part horse and part man, dwelling in the mountains of Thessaly and Arcadia.
