History from Horseback

12. Bucephalus and Alexander the Great (Pt.2)


Listen Later

Bucephalus returns in the conclusion of our first 2-part episode. And I suppose we mention Alexander the Great as well. In this episode Keagan and Keely focus on the biggest battles of Alexander the Great's campaign. Without horses and a cavalry, Alexander almost certainly would not have seen the success that he did during his life. 

TW: discussion of animal abuse from 39:15 - 45:26
