What was the name of Alexander the Great's Horse?
Being a legendary warlord who had in mind a modest idea of owning the whole world, Alexander also had to own a saddle-horse that would lead him to victory. Probably, Alexander was the greatest in everything he ever did, so that is no wonder that his horse became just as famous as he was. According to the story, an 11 year old prospective chieftain was so strong that no horse could be a match for the might of a future imperator. It was so, until the appearance of Bucephalus. Alexander was the only one who managed to daunt a wild animal and soon this horse became his loyal friend. Alexander was grateful for the loyalty of the animal that had never betrayed him like a human. That is why while battling, he usually rode any other war horse in order to save the life of his favorite.
