You can hear a sample of it on their MySpace page: Piers Anthony has written many wonderful fantasy books about a land called Xanth, where magic is the rule, and Centaurs are very real. The covers of some of his Xanth books have been graced by centaurs, including: Centaur Isle Source of Magic Castle Roogna and Isle of Veiw. And Piers has his own website: Hi Piers! Lady Lithia is a visual arts magician, and she specializes in Centaurs. Her website is no longer up, but if you click on the Centaur image that follows (graciously donated by Lady Lithia), you see more of her works. I like this site, dedicated to Centaur art of many kinds, including photomorphs, comic art, and Boris Vallejo: Centaur Mares Here is an archive full of Centaur links: www.centaur.org Many famous paintings have included centaurs. Here are two of my favorites: Botticelli's "Pallas and the Centaur" Sebastiano Ricci's painting depicts Hercules killing Nessus Here's an ancient drawing showing Dionysos, Hestia, Chariklo, Iris, Chiron This site has the most extensive catalogue of Centaurs on pottery I've ever seen!

And of course, we can't forget Deijaneira and Nessus by Boris Vallejo. There is also a painting of Deijaneira with Nessus' blood on her hands. For some reason, the people who name butterflies and moths like mythological names. Here are some pictures of some with Centaur names: Common Streaky-Skipper (Celotes nessus) Nessus sphinx (Amphion floridensis) Azalea sphinx (Darapsa pholus) Check this out! There is a firm named Chiron Corp, founded by three university professors, which is a leading global biotechnology company. Founded in 1981, just a few years after Chiron's discovery, doesn't it have a perfect name for a pioneer in GENE SPLICING (Chiron: half man/half horse?) A company that makes vaccines has named itself after the master healer: Chiron Panacea Vaccines CHIRON is also an acronym which stands for Cultural Heritage Informatics Research Oriented Network. This is a Marie-Curie EU-funded project providing research training fellowships for graduates wishing to start a research career in the field of IT applications to the research, conservation, and presentation of tangible Cultural Heritage. Check out C.H.I.R.O.N. And here is a firm that is a major designer of websites, as well as search engine optimization: The Chiron Group, Inc. Chiron Scientific is a firm in Sylvania, Ohio, that specializes in distributing laboratory supplies and equipment. I was lucky enough to get a chance to speak with the founder, who gave me the firm's birthdata: September 16, 1987, 9:00 AM EST, Sylvania, OH (83W42, 41N43.) While they did not use astrology to choose a founding date, Chiron in the above chart is very active. It falls at 28 Gem 32 in the 9th, making the following aspects: Semisextile MC 29 Can 08 Square Venus 29 Vir 47 Trine Ascendant 24 Lib 31 Quincunx Pallas 27 Sco 17 Opposition Ceres 25 Sat 29 Trine Juno 24 Aqu 40 R Sextile Jupiter 29 Aries 28 R And this was also during the time that Saturn and Uranus were applying to a conjunction in Sagittarius. There is a website, named after Chiron's wife, Chariclo, that specializes in something called Chiron Healing: http://www.chariclo.com/about-us/chiron-healing I'm not quite sure what being a volume dealer in surplus and wholesale products has to do with Chiron, but that's what this firm in Quebec, Chiron, does.
