Chiron was the wisest of the centaurs and a son of the Titan Cronus. He entertained Heracles, but once dropped one of his poisoned arrows on his foot. The pain was unbearable, so he surrendered his immortality and was placed among the stars as the constellation Centaurus. Some say he became Sagittarius.
