Talk:Centaur
From Academic Kids
"As children of Apollo, they are taken to signify the rays of the Sun." I removed this statement which embodies several misleading misconceptions. Wetman 00:44, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
"Many centaur legends state that they are very fickle creatures, and often look to the sky to determine the fates. They are great astrologers and have a love for divination." This may be a modern pop astrology use of centaurs. Fickle astrologers, eh? Can anyone give a concrete instance that would support any element of these statements? --Wetman 22:28, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I've no clue as to where that came from, I was just moving it. Although come to think of it, the centaurs in Harry Potter are quite like that. Maybe that's what the tidbit's contributor was getting at. [[User:Premeditated Chaos|PMC]] 23:12, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Ah! "Centaurs in the Harry Potter series" is a perfectly good subsection, at a Harry Potter entry-- with a linking note here: "Modern centaurs have been reimagined in the Harry Potter books." or somesuch. Would a Potterite do this for us? --Wetman 00:16, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I'd be willing to try, being that I'm something of a closet Potterite. The only problem is that I haven't touched the books in at least a year, but that's easily fixed; I read fast. Edit: None of the other magical beasts in Potter are actually included in the article; they have separate entries elsewhere. Maybe we should make the Centaurs in Harry Potter subsection on the Centaur article itself, and link from Harry Potter? [[User:Premeditated Chaos|PMC]] 00:30, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The "fickle creatures" bit was added by User:Premeditated Chaos 17:49, 27 Nov 2004. I've deleted it. --Wetman 00:51, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
