View of turquoise-blue Lake Iskanderkul in western Tajikistan. Legend has it that Alexander the Great’s horse drowned here. However, it could not have been Bucephalus, Alexander’s famous horse, which died in 326 BC and to which Alexander dedicated a city. Alexander the Great’s campaigns to subdue Sogdia took place slightly earlier (between 329 and 327 BC) and were marked by the founding of Alexandria Eschatè, now Khujand.
