The Medicine of the semi-god healer Chiron and the divine origin of the Medical art
The mythological creature Centaur Chiron, lived in the mountain Pelion in ancient Thessaly in Greece. Chiron was considered as the teacher of medicine for all ancient physicians, even for the god patron of medicine Asclepius. As a creature of the land, half horse, half man, knew about herbs, elixirs, knifes (surgery) and music. Chiron as the son of Cronus had a divine origin and the perception of such a teacher supported the glorious origin of medical art.
