半人马座,也叫射手座The Latin name for the constellation Centaurus is "Centaurus," which translates phonetically as "Chiron." However, there was also a centaur who stood apart from most of his kind—Chiron being the most notable example. Chiron was kind, wise, learned, intelligent, and highly skilled in many arts. In Greek mythology, numerous great heroes and powerful figures were his students. Chiron earned widespread love and respect. Unfortunatel
y, he was ultimately killed by one of his own students through an accidental wound. After his death, Zeus, the king of the gods, raised him to the heavens, where he became the constellation Centaurus.
