Named for one of Aeneas’ {see planet (1172)} Trojan companions after the fall of Troy, commander of the galley named “Centaur”. During the Sicilian games, as described in the Aeneid, Sergestus took the Centaur in a race against three other galleys. He drove his ship upon the rocks, lost the race and was mocked by the crowds, but to console him Aeneas gave him a reward of a slave woman named Pholoe. (M 18647)
