Greetings, SupWestCiv and Honors 202 sections!
When he was young, Alexander the Great was living an amazing life. His father, Phillip II, was the king of Macedonia, and Phillip hired one of the greatest minds of his time, Aristotle, to be Alexander’s personal tutor. When he was around 13, Alexander acquired a horse named Bucephalus. Bucephalus is a Greek term meaning “ox-head,” a reference to the horse’s huge head. The relationship between Alexander and Bucephalus was exceptional, lasting from Alexander’s youth through the many times he rode his horse into battle.
Your assignment for today is to do some independent research, and find out everything you can about the amazing relationship between Alexander and Bucephalus. As always, post your work to your blog by 11:59 tonight. I’m looking forward to reading everybody’s essays, especially those of you who have your own horse stories.
