Answer 1

In Greek mythology, the centaurs (Greek: Κένταυροι) are a race of creatures composed of part human and part horse. In early Attic vase-paintings, the head and torso of a human joined at the (human's) waist to the horse's withers, where the horse's neck would be.

Answer 2

Centaur
Considered savage and violent, the centaurs of Greek mythology were half-man and half-horse. They lived in the mountains and forests, attacked humans with rocks and branches, and feasted on raw flesh. Centaurs were also known for poor manners. They were drunken, lusty followers of Dionysus, the god of wine. Two centaurs, Chiron and Pholus, were kind and wise exceptions to the rule, and Chiron (the only immortal centaur) was even the tutor of many Greek heroes.
