Bucephalus and Alexander were inseparable; only Alexander could ride him, and indeed he did, into every battle from the conquest of the Greek city-states and Thebes through the Battle of Gaugamela and into India.
Although historians disagree on the cause of the horse's death - some claim he died from battle wounds - most agree he died of old age after the Battle of Hydaspes River (326 BCE… battle illustrated above).
Alexander founded a city in his beloved horse's memory and named it Bucephala. It is also interesting that Alexander built another city after his favorite dog Peritas.

This city garden was founded in 1825, right after visit of Alexander I, the Empreror of Russia. Now it is one of the most popular location in Vyatka. The picture was taken just a couple of days ago. The struggle between winter and spring continues.
This panorama is made of 5 shots without tripod.
Marble sculpture of the head of Alexander the Great (probably around 300 BC; Archaeological Museum of Pella). In 343 BC, Aristoteles became the tutor of Alexander who was then 12 or 13 years old. His education took place for a couple of years in the school the philosopher had established next to the Nymphaeon of Mieza, a religious sanctuary close to today's town of Naoussa, Macedonia. The subjects were wide: rhetoric, ethics, politics, natural history, medicine and Homer's Iliad. Plutarch, the historian, tells us that Alexander later became increasingly critical of his tutor's social teachings, in particular, his advice to treat Greeks as friends and Non-Greeks as slaves. Instead, Alexander favoured a policy of intercultural rapprochement. Leica M8, Voigtlaender 35/1.4.
Alexander the Great and his mother Olympias were very fond of each other, but they were also two very violent people who literally walked over dead bodies.
Both did not shy away from having personal rivals and competitors killed by the dozen.
"The destruction of Thebes [by Alexander] left a very deep and lasting impression on Greece. It was perceived not only by contemporaries but for centuries (even in the Roman imperial period) as an outrageous cruelty that Alexander was blamed for and cited as a historical example of a horrific catastrophe."
While Alexander had been leading the Balkan campaign to secure his power in 335 BC after taking power, "the Greeks in the south decided that this was the time to free themselves from Macedonia. Their spokesman was Demosthenes, who tried to convince the Greeks that Alexander had fallen in Illyria and that Macedonia was rulerless. The inhabitants of Thebes were the first to rise up and drive the Macedonian occupying soldiers out of the city.
Alexander reacted immediately and marched southwards to Thebes directly from his Illyrian campaign. The phalanx of his general Perdiccas captured the city, where Alexander had all the buildings destroyed as punishment, with the exception of the temples and the home of the poet Pindar. Six thousand inhabitants were killed, the remaining 30,000 were sold into slavery. The city of Thebes no longer existed and was to be rebuilt only twenty years later, but never regained its former importance.
[...]
The ancient orators in particular were keen to speak [of these atrocities] and used this opportunity to arouse strong emotions in their audiences. It was said that Alexander acted like a wild animal and as an inhuman (apánthrōpos). This tradition of interpretation was still being received in Byzantine times." Later it was obviously lost.

A very rare combination, probably unique in the world. (-;
Alexander Falls is a waterfall on Madeley Creek, a tributary of Callaghan Creek in the Callaghan Valley area of the Sea to Sky Country of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. The falls are located just below a bridge on the access road to Callaghan Lake Provincial Park, at the head of the valley, which lies to the west of the resort town of Whistler, BC Canada.
High tide on the River Wear below Queen Alexander Bridge in Sunderland, NE England this afternoon.
Officially opened by The Earl of Durham, on behalf of Queen Alexandra on 10 June 1909, at the time it initially held the record as the heaviest bridge in the United Kingdom.
The bridge structure is also framing the central pylon further upstream of the Northern Spire crossing which opened to traffic on 29 August 2018.
My tribute to the great designer, Alexander Mcqueen. His work is one of my main influences, and his loss leaves a painful vaccum in the world of fashion.
Clean Slate agreed to be my McQueen muse... I made her dress out of lace remnants. Her horns are from Soom Amber.
Loyd Alexander TS (1955-1961) dient heute als Werbeträger für ein Museum in Bernkastel-Kues. In solch einem Auto haben wir früher (vor über 60Jahren) unsere Familienausflüge unternommen.
Keine Gurte, keine Kopfstützen.
Das war noch ein echtes Abenteuer. Mit 40cm langen Lutschern im Mund (aus den Niederlanden) wurde auch schon mal der Rachenraum ramponiert.
Loyd Alexander TS (1955-1961) serves today as an advertising medium for a museum in Bernkastel-Kues. We used to drive a car like this on our family trips over 60 years ago. No belts, no headrests. That would be a real adventure. With 40cm long lollipops in the mouth (from the Netherlands), the pharynx was often damaged.
