Alexander was twelve years old when horse dealers brought the great stallion Bucephalus, for sale, to his father Philips’s court in Macedonia.
The princes all agreed that the animal was spectacular.
But he was so wild, no one could even mount him.
Then Alexander stepped forward.
Nearly twenty years later, Alexander was still riding Bucephalus in battle, still in front of everyone else.
The post Episode Thirty: How Alexander Led first appeared on Steven Pressfield.
