Thread: Alexander's horse

  1. #1

    Default Alexander's horse

    When Alexander was only eight or nine years old, he tamed his first horse that none of his father’s grooms could manage. Alexander had noticed the horse, Bucephalus, acted wild because he was afraid of his shadow. By speaking to the horse gently and turning him to face the sun, Alexander was able to ride him. Seeing this Philip told his son “you will have to find another kingdom; Macedonia is not going to be big enough for you”.

    Common Clayton,
    This is the kind of information you get in Wikipedia. Put it in the Tavern if you really think it is worth, but if you want to post here you gotta look for something else!

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
