<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 8016851, member: 128351&quot;]The whole story, including Philip&#039;s famous quote, is most probably a legend. Let us not forget that Alexander divinized his horse. Bucephalus was officially honoured as a divine horse, like Xanthos and Balios the two divine and immortal horses Zeus presented to Peleus as a wedding gift, and Peleus gave to his son Achilles for his chariot. One of them could even speak ! It is in the Iliad, a classic all the Greeks knew... For me, the incredible price is part of the legend, as is the story of the boy being the only one able to tame the horse so his father foretells he will become an even greater king than himself. This is not a rodeo story, this is a royal ordeal story. The same exists in medieval romances : young Arthur was the only one able to pull out the sword from the anvil, and thus recognized as the True King. </p><p>There are many other stories about famous horses ...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1390211[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
