Sagittarius

The Babylonians, identified Sagittarius as the god Pabilsag which had wings and a lion's head. Sagittarius is generally identified as a centaur, half human, half horse. He is shown wearing a cloak and drawing a bow, aimed in the direction of the neighbouring Scorpion.

In some legends, the Centaur Chiron was the son of Philyra and Saturn, who was said to have changed himself into a horse to escape his jealous wife, Rhea.
