“...a male goat apppeared from the west...then the male goat grew exceedingly great; but at the height of its power the great horn was broken...” - Daniel 8:5-8:8

“They will ask thee of Dhu'l-Qarneyn (2-horned one) Say: "I shall recite unto you a remembrance of him." Quran 18:83
The 1st passage is from the Book of Daniel, written as if it were a prophecy but clearly takes place long after Alexander’s death. The 2nd is from the Quran, Alex being a contender for Dhu’l-Qarneyn; such is the religious legacy of Alex’s association with the horned Zeus-Ammon
