Alexander the Great had a famous house named "
Bucephalus", a horse rode by Alexander into every battle he ever fought. The famous mosaic of Alexander and Bucephalus at the Battle of Issus was a Roman floor mosaic found and excavated at Pompeii.
The modern Greek word
"Βουκεφάλας" (Vu-keh-FA-las) ≈ "Bucephalus" comes from the modern Greek word
"βους" (vus) ≈ "cow, ox" and the modern Greek word
"κεφαλή" (keh-fa-LEE) ≈ "head" and means, literally, "
ox head", since the horse had a distinctive head shape.
The city of Bucephala (probably present day Jhelum, Pakistan) was founded by Alexander in memory of Bucephalus who died from wounds in Alexander's last battle.
