asteroid pholus (5145) and tattoos: ā
pholus, son of silenus and melia, was one of the only wise and docile centaurs in greek mythology (the other being chiron). he sheltered himself in a cave on mount pholoe and was a good friend of the hero hercules.
on one of hercules' journeys, he passed by this mountain and pholus welcomed him into his cave for a meal. but when he opens a wineskin for hercules during their feast, the wine's aroma escapes the cave and enrages all of the centaurs nearby.
hercules kills most of the centaurs with poison-tipped arrows before the others flee elsewhere. after the altercation, pholus leaves his cave to bury the bodies of the centaurs he once knew. but mistakenly, while examining the arrows in their bodies, he poisons himself by dropping one on his foot.
i personally associate pholus with tattooing because he pricks himself with a sharp object in his story. generally speaking, pholus has a strong connection with needles, arrows, sharp weapons, etc.
