Here is a statue of Alexander taming the stallion Bucephalus. The statue is outside the City Chambers at Edinburgh, Scotland. Bucephalus was a Thessalonian stallion. A Delphic Oracle said that he who would tame the horse with the Ox Head mark would rule the world. When Alexander was a boy, Bucephalus was unrideable, and Alexander begged his father for a chance to tame him. His father reluctantly agreed. Alexander turned poor Bucephalus' head away from the sun, so that he would not see his shadow and rode him for a long time into the sun. By the time they turned around, B trusted Alexander. His father was so amazed that he said, "O my son, look thee out a kingdom equal to and worthy of thyself, for Macedonia is too little for thee." His dad was proud of his intelligent equestrian son. Bucephalus lived a very long life, a fierce warrior steed who protected Alexander and helped him win the world. He was killed in battle, during his very late 20s, and Alexander buried him in honor and founded a city as his namesake. Art work about this famed stallion of antiquity can be found all over the world!!! You can read more about him at the following links:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucephalus
