In Greek mythology, a man was transformed into a centaur as a result of various narratives, often involving punishment or divine intervention. One notable story includes the centaur Chiron, who was accidentally wounded by an arrow from Hercules, leading to his transformation and suffering. Centaurs typically symbolize the conflict between civilization and barbarism, embodying both human and animalistic traits. Their transformation often reflects themes of duality and the struggle between reason and instinct.
