Well... human upper half... check, horse lower half... check. Definitely a centaur. Apparently good old Theseus wrestled a bunch of different "half human, half somethings"...

Thank you so much!!!
The museum was swarming with people, so I had to wait a bit to get a shot without some stranger's back in it

You're most welcome! I'm a filmmaker so I find the shot most impressive, especially when you have to work around other people and making sure they are out of the shot. That would have been funny. I would have been like, "Who's back is that?"
The angle really helps with making Theseus look like he's totally dominating in this fight, which he is.

Oh, I also wanted to point out that it's really amazing how we can see their faces, all of it. It's much more of an impact than seeing a side shot of or half of their expression.
