A centaur is an Ancient Greek's fictionalized personification of a "horseman", a raping nomadic savage who drags women off for their ritualized gangrape. Even Harry Potter had subtle references to the ravaging nature of the centaur, and you find references to this attribute about them all over their myths.

Like how they fictionalized Sarmatian female horse archers as "amazons", they're a kernel of truth wrapped around a shell of exaggeration, owing to the fact that all they knew about these lands and the people came from hearsay

NO; "MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES" WERE ACTUAL BEINGS; THE FACT THAT THEY CURRENTLY ARE EITHER EXTINCT, OR RARE, DOES NOT ENTAIL THAT THEY WERE FICTIONAL, OR METAPHORICAL.

Are there any demigods with human fathers and goddess mothers? Or does it only go the other way around?

>>3287712
female goddesses more or less killed any mortal who looked at them

Achilles

Aeneas was the son of Venus with a mortal albeit royal man.

According to German occultist Rudolf Steiner mythological creatures like centaurs, sphinxes were real beings, only in the astral realm. Early human had clairvoyance, but lost it overtime due to materialism.

RUDOLF STEINER WAS A DEMIOURGIC CHARLATAN.

Proof?

HIS ENTIRE LIFE'S WORK...

>>3287701
Prove it.

Some of the ocean monsters like Sea Serpents might be real or were real at one point. Like, it wouldn't surprise me if someone found a dead 30 foot sea serpent wash up on the beach one day, or found a really recent fossil of one, that shit sounds plausible enough for me.

Some of that shit though, like Bonnacons (giant bison things that shoot fire out their ass) is probably just something a guy came up with while he was high and everybody believed him because they didn't know any better.

It's probably more likely it's misinterpretation/exaggerations of existing sea animals.
This is what some of them thought whales looked like, so they could just as easily interpret a shark or a whale as some crazy sea serpent and spread that story until it entered myth.

>>3289907
Yeah, but sea snakes are already a thing. Is it really all that far off to think there might be a marine Anaconda?

>>3287673
What about Satyrs? What would they have been representative of?

>>3291723
I think that they're just a symbol of savagery in general.

>early humans had clairvoyance
>lol thats bullshit everyone knows that centaurs physically existed
m8 you are ridiculous. If you want people to buy into your bullshit at least try not to look insane while talking about it.

>>3288691
Is Astral realm a different name for our imagination?

>>3291723
Mainads still exist today:
>Sex and violence.
>Alcohol and substance abuse.
>Wearing Leopars.

Even ancient man recognised the superiority of horse pussy.
