Chiron - Centaur Teacher for Greek Heroes

Nathan Rutherford Season 3 Episode 15

Chiron is a hero not like other Greek heroes. First, he isn’t human. He’s a centaur. But unlike, most Greek centaurs who are wild, unpredictable, and dangerous; Chiron is wise and patient. Second, Chiron doesn’t go on his own adventures. Instead, he trains other heroes and makes them ready for their own. Many of Greek mythology’s most famous heroes were Chiron’s students. This episode (45) covers Chiron, some of his less well-known students, and what he taught them.
