The second story is all about Chiron the Centaur, the first Astrologer. He did not give in to his animalistic tendencies and instead became a teacher and healer of men. Unfortunately, his friend Hercules accidentally shot him in the thigh with a poisoned arrow. As he was immortal, he did not die but experienced unending, excruciating pain.
