Unchanged by any teller — how the centuries since have seen Chariclo.

The Education of Achilles
Unknown (Roman fresco / Pompeian tradition), 1st century AD (type)
Chiron teaching Achilles the lyre — the Pelion household Chariclo shares as the centaur's nymph wife and mother of Ocyrhoe. Not Chariclo mother of Tiresias.
Achilles and the Centaur Chiron
Pompeo Batoni, 1746
Batoni's Chiron and Achilles — the cave-school on Pelion where Chariclo stands in the Argonautica as Chiron's consort watching the heroes sail.
In play
Chiron
Chariclo's husband — the wise centaur of Pelion; she is the nymph consort Apollonius places beside him, not Athena's Theban favorite.
Argonautica
Apollonius of Rhodes
Apollonius shows Chariclo with Chiron as the Argo passes Pelion — the centaur household waving the heroes off.
Ocyrhoe
Chariclo's daughter by Chiron — the prophetess turned into a mare for revealing too much (Ovid Met. 2).
Metamorphoses (Ocyrhoe)
Ovid
Ovid's Chariclo watches her daughter Ocyrhoe become a horse — the Pelion wife's grief in the metamorphosis book.
