Chiron
Wise centaur who tutored heroes including Achilles, Heracles, and Asclepius. Unlike other centaurs, Chiron was civilized, scholarly, and skilled in medicine and prophecy. Wounded by poisoned arrow, he exchanged his immortality for Prometheus's freedom, choosing death over eternal suffering. Chiron represents the wounded healer archetype—one who transforms personal suffering into healing wisdom for others. His cave symbolizes the sacred space of learning and transformation.
