Chiron was her son by Cronus.[3] Cronus' wife Rhea walked in on them, thereupon Cronus assumed the form of a stallion and galloped away, in order not to be caught by her, hence the half-human, half-equine shape of their offspring;[4][5] this was said to have taken place on Mount Pelion.[6] When she gave birth to her son, she was so disgusted by how he looked that she abandoned him at birth, and implored the gods to transform her into anything other than anthropomorphic as she could not bear the shame of having had such a monstrous child; the gods (specifically Zeus) changed her into a linden tree.[7]
Yet in some versions Philyra and Chariclo, the wife of Chiron, nursed the young Achilles;[8] Chiron's dwelling on Pelion where his disciples were reared was known as "Philyra's cave".[9] Chiron was often referred to by the matronymic Philyrides or the like.[10] Two other sons of Cronus and Philyra may have been Dolops[11] and Aphrus, the ancestor and eponym of the Aphroi, i.e. the native Africans.[12]
