Pholus

one of the Centaurs, who kindly entertained Hercules when he was going against the boar of Erimanthus; but he refused to give him wine, which belonged to the rest of the Centaurs. ' Hercules, without ceremony, broke the cask. The smell of the liquor drew: the Centaurs to the house of Pholus, but Hercules killed the greatest part of them. Pholus interred the slain, but he mortally wounded himself with one of the arrows poisoned with the venom of the hydra, which he attempted to extract from the body of one of the Centaurs. Hercules, unable to cure him, buried him when dead, and called the mountain where his remains were deposited by the name of Pholoe.
