I kept trying "centaur", maybe change the clue a bit to remind it's one being that's sought after, not a whole sort. "He was half horse, half man and trained heroes." ? The shorter version makes it a bit ambiguous.

Odysseus took 10 years. Well, maybe 20 if you count the Trojan war, but that wasn't him trying to get back home.
