Alexander and Bucephulus

Today, we took notes on the relationship between Alexander and Bucephulus.

  • only Alexander was allowed to ride him
  • Alexander rode Bucephulus into every battle from the conquest of Greek city-states to India.
  • synchronized the hour of their deaths 
  • Alexander could manage the horse better than other people
  • Alexander realized that Bucephulus was scared of his own shadow
  • when the horse had died, Alexander named the city, Bucephala after him
  • when Bucephulus was wounded, he wouldn't allow Alexander to mount any other horse during the battle
  • developed a deep bond of love and compassion
  • Bought Bucephulus for 13 talents (huge amount fo money)
  • Bucephelus was considered too wild and unmanageable for anyone to buy, until Alexander camel along
