In the Battle of Issus, the Hellenics fought the Persians in 333 BC. Darius led the Persians, but eventually lost to the Hellenics who were under the command of Alexander the great. Despite having a larger army, Darius made a foolhardy choice when he fled to escape a direct attack by Alexander. The Persian army lost confidence, and scattered when they noted the absence of their commander.
