“…On Madara’s rock is depicted a rider whose only visible weapon is a short throwing spear. This warrior is Madara. People saw on the wall Madara who smote the lion of the East. For a while they remembered who the Madara and the Lion were, but then time blotted out from their memory the name of the great king and the memory of the severe war in which he crushed to death the vast power of the Persian empire.

It comes from time and enters it the Great ruler of the Bulgarians and the Vlachs, tilting his pensive head slightly to the left, wearing his favorite trophy armor. His illustrious favorite treads heavily beneath him. On his forehead the ancient seer saw the sign of the bull’s head, the sign of the extraordinary power of his mind, for which he was called Bucephalus…”
