I forgot the best part.

From 1993-2000 I had a cat and I named him Mewsephalus, based on the Munchausen horse name. I didn't know about the Alexander the Great part then. I actually thought that's how the Baron was pronouncing it - and - I thought they kept pronouncing it that way on Endeavour. That's why I bothered looking it up - to see if there was Mucephalus or some similar name.

Nope. Just Bucephalus - which means ox-head, the shape of the hot iron brand on the horse's hide. The horse Bucephalus was named after his slaver's mark.
