The horse Bucephalus was arguably the most famous horse in history. King Philip, with his short temper, wanted to get rid of him, but Alexander said he could ride him and he did. From that day on, Bucephalus was the horse that Alexander rode into battle, and it was the day of his very first, but not his last, victory.

He thought he was all powerful, he never thought anything could kill him. “There are many dark spots to impose on Alexander, and the list of his cruelties is long. » Alexander did some pretty terrible things during his life, but he was also one of the most exceptionally young men to ever live, and he is someone who will never be forgotten.
