CHIRON, THE IMMORTAL: A SCREENPLAY WITH ANALYSIS OF THE CENTAUR

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. The initial research discusses the development and cultural perceptions of savage Centaurs and how Chiron differs from them. His myth provides many useful visuals that help people better understand complicated issues. Thus, I have adapted Chiron’s myth into a screenplay that handles multiple universal themes and many specific questions. Through this screenplay, I explore how Chiron's tale is relevant to several modern fields of study.
