Bucephalas Sword
History of Bucephalas (Name means Ox-Head):
Price: $239
Bucephalas, the faithful steed of Alexander the Great of Macedonia. Alexander and Bucephalas first met when Alexander was just 12
years old in 344 BC. Unruly and vicious, even the best horsemen were unable to mount him. Alexander recognized great potential and
had noticed that the horse seemed nervous of both his handlers and of his own shadow. Alexander turned the horse toward the sun so
his shadow disappeared. Bucephalas began to relax and allowed the boy to vault up on his back. They rode off together and from that
moment they were inseparable. Bucephalas responded to Alexander s understanding hand and, restored in spirit, became an exemplary
war horse.
Inspired by Alexander
the Great's Horse.
