Abstract from DBPedia | A centaur (/ˈsɛntɔːr, ˈsɛntɑːr/ SEN-tor, SEN-tar; Ancient Greek: κένταυρος, romanized: kéntauros; Latin: centaurus), or occasionally hippocentaur, is a creature from Greek mythology with the upper body of a human and the lower body and legs of a horse. Centaurs are thought of in many Greek myths as being as wild as untamed horses, and were said to have inhabited the region of Magnesia and Mount Pelion in Thessaly, the Foloi oak forest in Elis, and the Malean peninsula in southern Laconia. Centaurs are subsequently featured in Roman mythology, and were familiar figures in the medieval bestiary. They remain a staple of modern fantastic literature.ケンタウロス(古希: Κένταυρος、ラテン語: Centaurus)とは、ギリシア神話に登場する半人半獣の種族の名前である。馬の首から上が人間の上半身に置き換わったような姿をしている。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Centaur) |
