Alexander and Bucephalus by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo

Bucephalus, was the horse of Alexander the Great, and one of the most famous horses of classical antiquity. Accounts state that Bucephalus' breed was that of the "best Thessalian strain" and that he died in what is now Pubjab, Pakistan, after the Battle of the Hydaspes in 326BC. Alexander was so grieved at the loss of his horse that he named one of the many cities he founded after him, as Alexandria Bucephalus.
