Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Issus
A narrow plain near the modern city of Iskenderum, Turkey.
Issus is located near the Gulf of Alexandretta in south-central Turkey near the northern border of Syria; the Greek army, led by Alexander the Great, defeated the Persian king Darius there in 333 BCE; although the Persians had a larger army, the Greeks broke their ranks and sent Darius in a humiliating retreat.
