All Satyr's did was chase nymphs and play flutes, pretty tame. Tales about Centaurs are mixed..some have them as bloodthirsty warriors, some as scholors, and some a little of both. So..depending on which story, they could be quite tame.

Some centaurs were civilized, alright chaps, while others were brutes.
Chiron, for example, was the sage type, and he used to train heroes (Phil from the Disney movie is based on him).
Nessus, on the other hand, tried to stole Hercules wife, and causes her to accidentally kill Hercules. A band of centaurs stole the wife of another Greek hero, and others were implicated in a major brawl over a mere cup of wine.
Btw, can I join this?

Yes, Zamfir, this competitions is open to all.
And I'm glad my riddles are complicated enough to spring up some discussion. It makes me feel better at prose than normal.
Yes, domestic is to make tame, and tame has degrees. One person's tame is another person's wild. But, still, try to tame Nessus and he'd probably perforate your skull. I'll phrase the next one's differently to avoid this. Thank you for you input!

Round 1 - Greece
Birds of a feather flock together
Hope they aren’t of this certain weather
Hera’s Bane slew them all
Outed by arrows, scatter by a single call
Mother of nine, raised the thunder
Husband with sky, torn asunder
One to rise, one to fall
Her grace hath saved king of all
Terrible and fierce, with heads of vipers
Fought for freedom, but no avail
Bolt of heaven, to hell he fell
There Echidna hath bore more tales
Man? Not quite
On the shore, he stands day and night
Fated with one flaw, in his hide of gold
His doom sealed with a pin at heel all too tight
Weaved in time
Cast by three
Drawn tight in life
Severed in death
Bonus - 1 point each
Name those who embody Moirae, something no man can avoid in the end.
--------
Please message me your answers. This time had no theme, but rest assured that the questions will get harder as time progresses.

Talos was a giant made of bronze, who was protecting Crete. He was destroyed by Jason and the Argonauts. Supposedly his weak point was a toenail and I guess, modern sources mix this Achilles' legend and the weak point being his heel.
