Greek mythology's Chiron, e.g. (7)

I believe the answer is:

centaur

(Other definitions for centaur that I've seen before include "Mythical semi-equine beast" , "Fabulous beast, half man and half horse" , "Mythological horse-man" , "Mythical beast, half horse and half man" , "Mythic man-horse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
