Centaurides the female members of the Centaur tribe

The Centaurides were the female members of the Centaur tribe, creatures with the double-formed bodies of horses and men.

Female centaurs are seldom mentioned in ancient literature, although they do occasionally appear in ancient Greek paintings and Roman-era mosaics and reliefs. One Roman relief, housed in the Louvre Museum, depicts a Kentauris with infant in the train of the god Dionysos.
