Board 2025-2026 "KENTAUROS"
Kentauros , also known as centaur, is a creature from Greek mythology with the upper body of a human and the lower body and legs of a horse, that was said to live in the mountains of Thessaly. The origin of the word kentauros is generally regarded as being quite obscure. Some of the possible translations or etymologies are ‘piercing bull’ or ‘bull slayer’. Centaurs are regularly featured in Roman and Greek mythology, and were familiar figures in the medieval bestiary. They remain a staple of modern fantastic literature. They are often depicted as wild, untamed, and displaying great feats of strength such as carrying rocks or boulders.
The name Kentauros carries a sense of strength, mystery, and timeless legend. It evokes the image of the centaur: a powerful and noble creature that symbolizes the union of intellect and instinct, wisdom and vitality. The stars within the logo represent the 40 years of Parafrid’s existence, and can also be related to the centaurus constellation, which is one of the largest constellations in our night sky.
Our board can be compared to the great and mighty centaur through our tireless work ethic and our determination to make this lustrum year one to remember!
With love, board Kentauros
