G'day lee-san, Thank you for your question. A centaur was a mythical race of half-human, half-horse in Greek mythology. Chiron was the oldest and most notable centaur. A minotaur was a mythical monster of half-man, half-bull in Greek mythology. It was finally killed by Thesseus in the Labyrinth in Crete. They were similar things but not the same thing. I have attached sources for your reference.
