Alexander made his first human kill during a boar hunt at the age of twelve, and tamed the legendary stallion Bucephalas in the same year, thus winning the coveted right to wear the sword-belt of an adult. Through the years of his youth he was tutored with a hand-picked group of the sons of nobles by the great Athenian philosopher Aristotle, and the friends he made during his schooling would remain with him all his life.
