Phoenix

A Centaur's Tale Phoenix

Variation on the tale of the Wedding of Pirithous King of the Lapiths. To his wedding, Pirithous invited a horde of Centaurs, half-human, half-horses, and symbols of dark, untamed forces. The Centaurs promptly got intoxicated and kidnapped the bride, and the ensuing tragedy is one of the classics of Greek myth symbolizing the Eternal Return. This is a parallel view to a more contemporaneous setting in which the dark, untamed forces are represented by a motorcycle gang.
