As the word “machy” means struggle or combat, the word Centauromachy is used instead to designate the physical encounters of Centaurs with other mythical beings, such as Theses and the Amazons.
Como o vocábulo maquia significa luta ou combate, usa-se a palavra Centauromaquia para designar os recontros físicos dos Centauros com outros seres míticos, como Teseu e as Amazonas.
