Philyra and Cronus

The Myth of Philyra and Cronus is a short one. Oceanus gave birth to the Oceanides, and one of them was Philyra (the nymph of the mountain Philyra). She fell in love with her uncle, Cronus, the Titan lord of the universe. As they were having an affair, Rhea, Cronus' wife, came across them, and to disguise himself, Cronus turned himself into a horse. This made Cronus and Philyra's son half horse, and half human, the first centaur. He was immortal, and his name was Chiron. He would train many heroes in the future.
