He had stopped in to see a Centaur who was a friend of his, Pholus, and being very thirsty he persuaded him to open a jar of wine which was the common property of all Centaurs.

As legend goes, Chiron, an immortal centaur, who both taught medicine and served as a physician, attended a gathering hosted by another centaur named Pholus.

Capture of the boar of Erymanthus, while chasing which he fought the Centaurs and killed his friends Chiron and Pholus, this homicide leading to Demeter’s institution of mysteries.

Their general character is that of wild, lawless and inhospitable beings, the slaves of their animal passions, with the exception of Pholus and Chiron.

To death he casteth Sthenelus, Pholus, and Thamyris; Those twain anigh, but him afar; from far the bane he is Of Glaucus and of Lades, sons of Imbrasus, whom he In Lycia bred a while agone, and armed them equally To fight anigh, or on their steeds the winds to overrun.
