Centaur

Or rather perhaps your people resembles not Heracles, but some Centaur or Cyclops who has drunk and is in love, in body strong and great, but in mind untaught.

These men, then, all but raving, do many evil things, just as Homer says the Centaur, made drunk in the house of Pirithous, wrought evil deeds.

so that it is a very varied and dreadful beast, such as poets and craftsmen mould — Centaurs and Sphinxes and Chimaeras — putting together out of all manner of natures into one form of image.

And though the prows bear figures threatening to cast rocks such as Centaurs throw, thou shalt find them but hollow planks and painted terrors.

Cyrus asked, since we are all so very well agreed upon this matter, if we should make a rule for ourselves that it be considered improper for any one of us whom I provide with a horse to be seen going anywhere on foot, whether the distance he has to go be long or short, so that people may think that we are really Centaurs?

for, in my opinion at least, the Centaurs must have had difficulty in making use of many of the good things invented for man;

At any rate, I shall be able to take forethought for everything with my human mind, I shall carry my weapons with my hands, I shall pursue with my horse and overthrow my opponent by the rush of my steed, but I shall not be bound fast to him in one growth, like the Centaurs.
