Original Centaur Myth

          The centaur is the cause of why we have thunder.  First centaurs were kind and brainless and did whatever they were told.  They were under the control of Zues.  One day when Zues was sleeping, the Roman's almighty god, Athemis, snuck into his temple and took all of the centaurs.  They tried to kill Zues but since he was the most powerful god, he could only be killed with his own lightning bolt.  The Roman goddess tried but was unsuccessful.  Since the centaurs were brainless and could not think for themselves, they controlled them and made them vicious warriors.  The Romans prepared the centaurs for they greatest battle ever.  When the centaurs were in the trojan war fighting for the Romans, they were about to win when Zues banished them to his kingdom of the sky.  They were in an eternal war with Zues and his army.  They still run across the sky in the clouds but could only be heard where there was a storm.  Thunder is the sound of their hooves running away and dodging Zues' deadly lightning blots.  The centaurs can never win this etternal war but niether can Zues.  Eventually they signed a treaty saying that they would never fight again.  Today, the sound of thunder is caused by centaurs running across the sky hunting for their food.
