Mythological Creatures: Centaurs & Minotaurs
How many of you have wished that you were half-horse? Or half-bull? Oh, come on. You can admit it! Okay, neither have I. But for those who have no choice and were born as centaurs or minotaurs, here’s a blog post to help the rest of us humans understand why they are the way they are: Minotaurs Minotaurs also come from Greek mythology.

Elves There are numerous forms of elves: tall, lithe, “High Elves” (Lord of the Rings), cliche tiny singing elves (Santa), house-elves (Harry Potter), etc. We can’t tackle them all in one post, but it’s important to understand that the defining characteristics of elves differ depending on which country’s folklore we look at.
