Hippotion, one of the
Centaurs who lived on the
Pholoe mountain in
Arcadia. Once he smelled the sweet odor of the wine coming from the cave of
Pholus, he went there with many other Centaurs, armed with stones and pine trees. As soon as they stormed into the cave, however, they were met by the furious
Heracles, who was visiting Pholus at that time. The hero engaged into battle with the Centaurs and driven away a large number of them with burning torches.[1] The other Centaurs who cannot escape, including Hippotion, were all killed by Heracles.[2]
