Peleus took the Achilles to be reared by the Centaur Chiron, who
was a famous mentor and teacher of many heroes. On Mount Pelion Achilles
was fed meat from lions and wild boars, and the marrow of bears, to
give him courage. A diet of honey-comb and fawn's marrow made him
a swift runner. Chiron taught Achilles the arts of riding, hunting,
archery, pipe-playing, healing and more.
