Alexander the Great and Bucephalus had a very interesting relationship that can most likely connect to people who own horses. I do not own a horse myself but I have been up close with them and know how much of a spectacular animal they really are. When Alexander the great was 12 years old his dad offered a horse (being Bucephalus) from a man. Alexander the Great's dads name was king Philip II of Macedonia. he paid 13 talents for the horse which at the time was a very large amount of money. Alexander's father was not very interested in the horse so he let alexander have it for himself. alexander promised to keep for it and pay for its needs over time. Bucephalus reportedly died after 30 years of life which equates to 180 horse years. Which is an extremely long amount of time for a horse. He is also said to be more powerful than Pegasus. Bucephalus truly was an incredible animal and his relationship with alexander the great helped changed history forever.
