	==== Babylonian ====		==== Babylonian ====
	In Mesopotamian astronomy, there are three constellations here: The beast is also a wild animal in Babylonian mythology, the “mad dog,” perhaps a wolf. The front part of the centaur, near the beast, especially the stars in the outstretched arm κ and η Centauri, are associated with the deity ~~Numuschda~~. The larger part of the centaur forms the constellation Khabasiranu. The star at the horse's tail of the centaur (δ Cen) forms the head of this creature, but what exactly it is is not entirely clear – perhaps a giant mouse. Sometimes the Sumerian word is also interpreted as “shaggy winter star” and could then refer both to an animal and to the diffuse sight of the globular cluster ω Centauri, which lies on the back of the centaur. Ptolemy describes it as a “foggy star.”		In Mesopotamian astronomy, there are three constellations here: The beast is also a wild animal in Babylonian mythology, the “mad dog,” perhaps a wolf or rabid dog.

	In any case, the Mesopotamian deity associated with the constellation is Ningirsu, one of the city gods of Mesopotamia who later found a place in the Babylonian pantheon. He was equated with Ninurta, a god of war who was also responsible for hunting and fertility.

	# On the Farnese Globe, the hunter centaur holds the spear with which he killed the beast in his left hand. Eratosthenes says it is a thyrsus. This is a cult object entwined with ivy, with a pine cone resting on its tip. It belongs to Dionysus (Latin: Bacchus), the god of wine, and his frivolous entourage, but also plays an important role in the initiation rites of the city of Eleusis (near Athens).		# On the Farnese Globe, the hunter centaur holds the spear with which he killed the beast in his left hand.

	# The association of the dead beast with a wineskin, also recorded by Eratosthenes, is logical, since the skin of slaughtered animals can be used as a drinking vessel.

	Centaurs are figures from Greek mythology with a human upper body on a horse's body. They represent masculine, impetuous, and lustful characters. Depictions of female centaurs are only documented in the late Hellenistic period. This is expressed in all myths about their origin as a result of the transgressions of the wicked king Ixion, their expulsion from Thessaly to the Peloponnese, their enemies, the virtuous Lapiths, and their combative encounters with Greek heroes such as Heracles. The origin of this hybrid creature is as controversial in research as the etymology of the word. A connection to ancient Indian lesser deities is under discussion, but there are no known Mesopotamian or Egyptian references.
