The symbolism of White

Hi,

"Rabbeinu Saadya Gaon wrote that since the first Greek king was Alexander of Macedonia - who was a philosophical scholar, and wisdom is white and pure - therefore Zecharyah's vision portrayed his reign with white [horses]."

(Radak to Zecharyah 6:3)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
