Chiron was a good and wise centaur who was also Achilles' teacher, being taught, himself, by Apollo and Diana. He was killed accidently by some hero or other, (I think Heracles,) causing that hero to either consider or commit suicide. Chiron is the centaur who now appears in the constellation Centaurus. All this was from memory, and no claims are made for either its accuracy, or veracity. David Palmer
