Today in class we began watching Alexander the Movie. So far, we have seen Alexander as a child who is more of the son of his mother. His father, Philip, has many mistresses while he is married to Olympias. In the first scene, we witness an auction of horses that would be used for war, one of the horse was too hyper and wild that Philip didn't want it, but Alexander did. he made a deal with hid father that if he could calm the horse down, he could have it. He did manage to calm the horse down. He even got on it and rode the horse, he named him Usevalus. We skipped a few parts, then we watched the Gagamela War. He is now all grown up.
