Let no man marvel that the more part of these, even though they pleased gods, died none the
							less; for that was nature’s work; but the praise of them grew
							mightily;—nor yet that not all of these flourished at one time. For
							Cheiron’s lifetime sufficed for all. For Zeus and Cheiron were brethren, sons of one sire, but the mother of the
						one was Rhea, of the other the nymph Nais: and so, though he was born before
						these, he died after them, for he taught Achilles.
