Who were the centaurs?
In the old Greek legends, centaurs were known as fierce warriors and skilled hunters, galloping wild and free — though some were wise teachers who trained great heroes. When you colour yours, try shading the horse half like a real horse (anything from white to black, with browns and tans in between) and match the human hair to go with it.
Meet more mythical creatures
The centaur is just one of many legendary beings from Greek mythology. Bring the whole myth to life alongside the Minotaur, the half-man, half-bull of the labyrinth, and Cerberus, the fearsome three-headed dog.
The archer of the zodiac
Did you know the centaur has its own star sign? Sagittarius, one of the twelve zodiac signs, is shown as a centaur drawing a bow — so colour yours as an archer and you've got the Archer of the stars.
