Abstract:
In this paper, I explore the possible inherited Indo-European
background of Chiron. This mythological figure is characterized by a
number of distinctive features, namely: the ‘healing hand’, the activity
‘hunt’, the component ‘wildness’, and the training of young heroes. In the light of a phraseological comparison, Chiron shares all or some of these components with the Vedic god Rudra, and with the Anatolian ‘Sun-god of the hand’.
