to find a centaur where a baby should be. Another has the junction of Ixion and a cloud forming the foal. This seems to be a trifle beyond the realm of reason. However, the most riotous of them all, when you get a born comic who can make the most of a smutty story, is the one that follows, in a censored version...

Once upon a time, in very ancient Greece, there lived a famous teacher and surgeon named Kronon. Now, Kronon dabbled in magic on the side and had quite a few handy little tricks up his sleeve. He was learned, handsome, and everything else that could be wanted in a man, except for one thing: he was exceedingly jealous where his wife was concerned. His wife's name was Philyra, and she was the village belle or whatever it was they had back then. Anyway, Kronon decided that he had a fool-proof way to see if she was still true. So he changed himself into a handsome, dashing stallion. When Philyra saw this beaut she started to form ideas that even Kathleen Winsor couldn't have got away with. And in his present form Kronon wasn't a very good man to fool with. Anyway to make a long story short (and acceptable to the pages of a family magazine) come to three-quarters of a year later, and Philyra gave birth to Chiron (also spelled Cheiron, pronounced Ki ron) who has pictured both as a man in front, all the way to his feet, with a horse's rear legs and flanks attached to his back -- and the more popular (and more modern) version as man from the waist up, and horse the rest of the way. Either way, he must have been quite a shock to his mother.

This is the same Chiron, by the way, who became a famous surgeon himself, was teacher to many of the fabulous Greeks (including Apollo) and who was killed in the retreat from Mount Pheilon to Malea. Killed is the wrong word to use there, for Chiron was immortal. He was wounded and prayed for death. The Gods heard his prayer and put an end to his mortal life. However, upon departing this vale of tears, he was placed among the stars and became the constellation Sagittarius. The cause for the flight was the fact that Hercules became perturbed at the entire race of centaurs after one named Nessus did away with Herc's wife. From what there is to learn of the female that Hercules married, it seems that Nessus did him a favor that was never really appreciated. Her morals were exceedingly loose. From all the pictures that are around, it seems as if she never even bothered with the fig leaf.

Maybe it was a good thing that Hercules and his boys did away with the centaurs, though. They were not gentlemen in the dictionary sense of the word. As a matter of fact, they were drunken, wild, lawless, inhospitable beings, ruled only by their animal passions. Their running off with the beautious Grecian ladies was only a fable, however, for they
