Interesting & Informative.
A horse devouring flesh? What kind of bullshit is that? -Alex, 74.133.188.197 08:57, 29 June 2006 (UTC).
In "The Greek Riding Horse" by M.H Morgan (a companion to his translation of Xenophon's "The Art of Horsemanship"), the author refers to Bucephalus as being "of the best Thessalian breed, black with a white star and very large". He references Plutarch's, "Life of Alexander" for this.
[edit] Alexander's best friend ( = Hephaestion?)
"The only other person to ride Bucephalus after Alexander tamed him was his best friend." -- I.e., Hephaestion? -- 201.50.251.197 15:14, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- It is false, only Alexander rode Bucephalus. It didn't let any other man ride him, so I've erased that sentence. --Bucephala 20:28, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
