Bucephalus is the name of a horse; the famous horse of Alexander the great. Bucephalus was the beloved horse of world-defeating Macedonian Alexander the Great. As the historian Plutarch describes, Alexander, a little boy, controlled the wild Bucephalus by rotating his head in the direction of the sun, in that way stopping the horse from being scared of his own gloominess.

Alexander then named the horse Bucephalus which means "ox-head", for the reason that the horse's head gave the impression as wide as a bull's head. Bucephalus conceded Alexander on many armed operations and finally died in the combat. On this happening, Alexander apparently wept at the horse's burial and initiates the city of Bucephala to remembrance of his horse's deeds.
