Tomayto tomahto. Alexander the Great also didn't _actually_ have horns 
either (and Mars is a farmer not a soldier). The point is that according 
to Islamic and Berber tradition, he and Moses are connected by their 
meeting through the mediation of the Green Man, and in the fact that 
they have horns--even sharing a title "The Two Horned Ones".
