Centaur (Centaurus, Ixionidae, Sagittary, Kentaure, Kentauros): In Greek mythology, these creatures are described as having the body and hind quarters of a horse but the head and torso of a man. They were also said to inhabit the mountains at Erymanthus in Thessaly or the countryside of Cylon. For the most part the Centaurs were kind, hospitable, sporting, generous and wise. However, they had some faults that proved their downfall on many an occasion, such as being bawdy and quick to fight, and having no tolerance for alcohol, which made them aggressively drunk.

How does the description of the being into which Mrs.Whatsit is transformed compare with an encyclopedic description of a Greek centaur?
Mrs. Whatsit’s transformation into a being resembling a centaur evokes the mythical creature's half-human, half-horse nature, emphasizing a blend of human intellect and animalistic power. However, unlike the traditional centaur, often depicted as embodying both wisdom and wildness, Mrs. Whatsit's form suggests a more ethereal, cosmic essence, reflecting her role as a celestial guide rather than a warrior. This contrast highlights themes of transformation and the intersection of the mundane with the extraordinary, diverging from the centaur's rootedness in human conflict and mythology.
