For the ancient Greeks, the centaur Chiron is the one who teaches Asclepius (Aesculapius) medicine. The cause of the cures and even the resurrection that he operates comes from a single source, the blood of the gorgon that Athena has given him. The myth recalls the sense of moderation that man must demonstrate in his search for knowledge. It illustrates a moment in the search for the perpetual truth that runs the risk, in man, of being confused with the pride of becoming equal to God. «There are no Gods, said the Mackenzie Indians, there is only medicine»
