This episode examines Alexander the Great through the presence of his horse, Bucephalus. Rather than focusing on conquest or legend, it looks at what twenty years of proximity revealed about a man who believed he could not be stopped.
The account is built from historical sources, battlefield records, and documented behavior. It does not mythologize the relationship or assign sentiment where none can be verified. Instead, it observes what happens when the only constant presence in a life defined by violence and isolation is an animal incapable of flattery, immune to titles, and indifferent to divinity.
What emerges is not a story about loyalty or companionship, but about the psychological cost of absolute power and the need to be witnessed by something that cannot lie. The horse did not explain Alexander. It simply stood close enough to see what others could not.
Abutiu explores history through animals that stood closest to power — not as symbols, but as witnesses.
