Chiron in Greek mythology was considered the best of the best centaur, which is half man, half horse. Centaurs were considered to be wild and lusty, and heavy drinkers which lead to violence. But Chiron was smart, kind and civilized, the opposite of the other centaurs, which made him more superior.
