Abstract
Most people know of great Greek heroes like Achilles, Hercules, and Jason. However, many are unaware of the Centaur, Chiron, who trained those heroes and many more. Through this research, I explore how Chiron's myth is relevant to today's political and social climate particularly with regards to political divisiveness and ethical issues arising in modern medicine. His death is similar to the experience of assisted suicide.
