Monstrum: Centaurs
A centaur is a creature from Greek mythology with the upper body of a human and the lower body and legs of a horse. Centaurs may best be explained as the creation of a folktale in which wild inhabitants of the mountains and savage spirits of the forests were combined in half-human, half-animal form. This episode takes a deep dive into the mythology and folklore of these creatures. Part of the "Monstrum" series.
