A being of myth, half horse, half man stands atop a large rock with a spear in hand. This is the legendary centaur.
The centaur was a creature of Greek Mythology, the most famous of which as Chiron, who was said to have Heracles. Centaurs were attributed to a very wild nature. Some scholars suggest that the myth originated with the ancient first sighting of nomads on horseback. No matter how they originated, Centaurs are a common creature throughout not only ancient legends, but medieval as well and are also well known in modern fantasy literature.
The zodiac symbol for sagittarius is a centaur holding a bow.
For most of 2020, I was working on Greek Mythology themed images. This was part of that effort.
Thanks for looking,
