I once had the honest-to-Zeus joy of translating some ancient philosopher’s essay on why centaurs can’t exist. It can be summarized as follows:
Centaurs are not a thing. In all real animals and most of the fake ones, the spine is relatively straight between the tail and neck. Only for centaurs are we asked to believe it would make a right-angled bend. And now that I’ve made you actually think about centaur anatomy, I rest my case.
HOW CAN YOU GIVE US THIS AND NOT TELL US WHICH PHILOSOPHER AND WHAT ESSAY THIS IS GOLD?
