The myth

The centaurs were invited to the wedding of Pirithous, king of the Lapiths, and Hippodamia. Unused to wine, they got drunk, and the centaur Eurytion tried to carry off the bride; the others followed, and the feast became a battle, the Centauromachy. The Lapiths, helped by Theseus, won and drove the centaurs from Mount Pelion. The Odyssey already recalls how wine maddened Eurytion in the hall of Pirithous, and Ovid tells the fight in the Metamorphoses. The scene was carved on the Parthenon and on the temple of Zeus at Olympia.

Why it has this power

A Common level-4 card with 1350 ATK and 800 DEF: plenty of fury and no guard, like a drunk who overturns the table. A Fire Beast-Warrior for the heat of wine and brawling, it bears the Sun and Bull constellations. It is strong for breaking through but falls easily to a patient defender.

Did you know

Many historians see the Parthenon's Centauromachy as an allegory of the Greek victory over the Persians.
