Why was Bucephalus so special to Alexander the Great?
Bucephalus [355 B.C.E. - 326 B.C.E.] was special to Alexander the Great [July 20-21, 352 B.C.E. - June 10-11, 323 B.C.E.], who had trained him. The horse's owner, Philonicus the Thessalian, considered Bucephalus untrainable. Bucephalus was going to be destroyed. But the young Alexander had seen what no one else had seen: Bucephalus was afraid of his own shadow.Alexander won Bucephalus' respect by turning the horse to face the sun. In that way, the horse could respond to training, because he wasn't seeing his shadow. Fear of his shadow had been the only nightmare that had plagued the otherwise courageous, intelligent, spirited, stubborn young horse.Bucephalus may have appreciated Alexander's having cured him of this nightmarish fear. That appreciation may have accounted for his absolute fearlessness, devoted fulfillment of every command, intuitive battle reactions, and unshakeable calm in the bloodiest and most horrendous of battles. Alexander could count on Bucephalus to get in and out of the thickest of frays without harm.Indeed, the only time that Bucephalus disobeyed Alexander was at his last battle, against King Porus [d. 317 B.C.E.]. In that battle, Bucephalus plowed into the thick of battle. But he suddenly turned before told to do so and sped quickly back to safety behind Alexander's lines.No sooner did a disappointed Alexander dismount than Bucephalus died. It's thought that, as with many animals, Bucephalus sensed the hour of his death and wanted to get Alexander back to safety.
