Cyllarus

Cyllarus is attested in Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book XII) within the narrative of the centaur–Lapith battle (the conflict erupting at Pirithous' wedding). The supplied sources present him as one of the centaurs who fought the Lapiths; no separate genealogy or founding origin for Cyllarus is provided in the cited materials. His story in the sources is a dramatic episode within the larger mythic confrontation rather than an independent origin myth.

Cyllarus is described in the supplied texts as a centaur — possessing the conventional composite form of human upper body and horse lower body — and explicitly characterized as "handsome and valiant" (summary of Ovid as reported in secondary sources). The available materials do not provide further iconographic details, measurements, coloration, or distinctive markings beyond the general centaur morphology and the attributes of handsomeness and valor.

In the cited accounts Cyllarus' demonstrated abilities are martial: he participated in the battle against the Lapiths and is portrayed as valorous in combat. He is also presented as deeply attached to his centaur wife Hylonome; his death and her reaction emphasize emotional devotion. The supplied sources do not record any supernatural powers, magical abilities, or cosmic functions for Cyllarus beyond his role as a mortal combatant among centaurs.
