Alexander tames the horse Bucephalas. The story of how the teenage prince tamed the wild horse that nobody else could ride was one of the most widely reported events of his youth.

Book Description
In this, the third book of Spellmounts Campaign in Context
series, Rupert Matthews looks to the first major campaign of Alexander
the Great. One of the most famous generals all time, Alexander was just
20 when he led his army into battle at Granicus. Despite his youth and
his army being heavily outnumbered, he was victorious, and it was this
victory that allowed him to conquer Asia Minor. The course of this key
battle remains controversial, owing to conflicting accounts in
contemporary sources. As with his previous titles in the series, Rupert
Matthews carefully balances the evidence from textual sources with
knowledge of the battlefield and reconstructed weaponry in order to
explain the events of the battle to the general reader, and the context
in which it took place.
