Bucephalus (Greek: Βουκεφάλας) was Alexander the great's horse. When Alexander was young, he managed to tame the horse by observing that it was afraid of its' shadow and by forcing it to face the sun.

Twenty years later, Bucephalus was mortally wounded in a battle and Alexander named a city in Asia "Bucephala" in honour of his horse.
