Bucephalus

The story of Alexander the Great, and his favorite horse Bucephalus, doubtless most of my readers have heard before.

Bucephalus was a war-horse of a very high spirit, which had been sent to Philip, Alexander's father, when the latter was a boy.

A great many anecdotes are related of the feats of Bucephalus, as a war-horse.

Bucephalus became the favorite horse of Alexander, and was very tractable and docile, though full of life and spirit.

The most splendid funeral Alexander could devise was given to Bucephalus, and a gorgeous tomb erected over his body.
