Ο κένταυρος Χείρωνας, γιος του Κρόνου και της νύμφης Φιλύρας είναι μια σημαντική μορφή της ελληνικής μυθολογίας, τόσο για τη σχέση του με τη θεραπεία και άλλες υπό διαμόρφωσιν φυσικές επιστήμες του αρχαίου κόσμου, όσο και για τη σχέση του με τη διδασκαλία των ηρώων. Υβριδική μορφή, όπως όλοι οι κένταυροι και τα άλλα χιμαιρικά πλάσματα του μυθικού κόσμου, διακρίνεται από τους υπόλοιπους του είδους του για την προαιώνια σοφία που κατέχει. Παρουσιάζεται σε πολλούς μύθους, με σημαντικότερο αυτόν στον οποίο φέρεται να ήταν δάσκαλος του Αχιλλέα.

In Greek mythology, Chiron (/ˈkaɪrən/ KY-rən; also Cheiron or Kheiron; Ancient Greek: Χείρων, romanized: Kheírōn, lit. 'hand') was held to be the superlative centaur amongst his brethren since he was called the "wisest and justest of all the centaurs".
Chiron was notable throughout Greek mythology for his youth-nurturing nature. His personal skills tend to match those of his foster father Apollo, who taught the young centaur the art of medicine, herbs, music, archery, hunting, gymnastics and prophecy, and made him rise above his beastly nature. Chiron was known for his knowledge and skill with medicine, and thus was credited with the discovery of botany and pharmacy, the science of herbs and medicine.
Like satyrs, centaurs were notorious for being wild, lusty, overly indulgent drinkers and carousers, violent when intoxicated, and generally uncultured delinquents. Chiron, by contrast, was intelligent, civilized and kind, because he was not related directly to the other centaurs due to his parentage. He was the son of the Titan Cronus and the Oceanid Philyra, and thus possible brother to Dolops and Aphrus, the ancestor and eponym of the Aphroi, i.e. the native Africans. Chiron lived predominantly on Mount Pelion; there he married the nymph Chariclo who bore him three daughters, Hippe (also known as Melanippe meaning the "black mare" or Euippe, "good mare"), Endeïs, and Ocyrhoe, and one son Carystus. A different source also stated that his wife was called Nais while a certain Aristaeus was called his son.
Like the other centaurs, Chiron was later expelled by the Lapithae from his home; but sacrifices were offered to him there by the Magnesians until a very late period, and the family of the Cheironidae in that neighbourhood, who were distinguished for their knowledge of medicine, were regarded as his descendants.
