In Greek mythology, Chiron (also spelled Cheiron) was considered the oldest and wisest of the Centaurs, a tribe of beings that were half-horse and half men. Among Chiron's pupils was Jason, whose father Aeson (and also, according to some writers, his mother) had asked Chiron to tutor him and oversee his education. In this illustration dating to 1901, Chiron instructs Jason on how to play the lyre.
