smilinjack 0 Posted July 11, 2011 Aren't we an unimaginative bunch? whatever happened to Bucephalus or Boanerges? Or even Rocinante? Ah well, I'll just stick with the black one or the silver one. At least the wife will know what I'm talking about! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E.goldstein 0 Posted July 11, 2011 BucephalusWhy well it all started some time back around the 20th or 21 July 356 when Alexander the Great was bourn, some time later at a Horse fair his Father Phillip II gave a horse to the young Alexander now 13, who had managed to tame the horse that others had said was untameable. As we know Alexander the Great when onto to rule over most of what is now Europe and Asia Minor. So why Bucephalus well that was the name of Alexander’s horse, which transported him from home in Greece to what was then the furthers any Greek had been know to travel, the horse did die in a great battle, something I hope does not befall my BMW Ok so I have summarises the facts somewhat but it’s a story that has interested me from a small child.E.goldstein “they watching you”!
