1.1 Chiron in mythology

In Greek mythology, Chiron is a centaur, half-man, half-horse, son of the god Kronos (Saturn) and the nymph Phyla, an oceanid nymph. One day Cronus saw the beautiful nymph Phylira, Saturn liked her very much, her beauty made him insistently want to possess her, Phylira resisted him, but the supreme God was not accustomed to deny himself desires, This is why he decided to take her by force, Filira ran away and turned into a horse, understanding that in her image she could not escape, but it did not help her, nor did her appearance scare Cronus, he possessed her, in spite of the fact that she was in the form of a horse ... and as a result of this "fusion" a child was born...
The little centaur, half-man, half-jewel...
The nymph was crushed with grief, she could not hold back her tears, she knew that she could not love her baby, born as a result of rape, and even such..., the feelings she felt just destroyed her... she begged the gods for help, understanding that she could not control herself and bring up her son... her unhappiness had no limits, and she did not want to live at all...
The gods decided to help the poor nymph and turned her into a linden tree, which is still crying...and Chiron, who was motherless and fatherless, was taken by Apollo and Artemis for upbringing...
