Why is centaur called centaur if taur means bull and its not a bull.?
Ken-Tauros means slay[er] [of] bull[s] in Ancient Greek. The sagittary or archer centaur was a formidable hunter and warrior. The etymology is disputed, however. Kenos means 'empty' as used in English for cenotaph. If you wish to think of the centaur as empty bull, I can't stop you. The Sicilian Greek, Empedocles, apparently wrote of the possibility of the bull-bodied man-faced counterpart of the minotaur. He may have known of the Lamassu bull-sphinx - a Babylonian protective demon.
