Darius III was the last king of the Achaemenid Empire in Persia. He fought against Alexander the Great, after he invaded the land known today as Turkey, with the intent of conquering the Persian Empire. Darius faced Alexander at the Battle of Issus in 333 B.C.. Alexander defeated Darius' troops, but did not take Darius. In 331, Darius again faced Alexander at Gaugamela, and again Darius' forces were defeated. He left the battlefield, but by the time Alexander caught up with him, Darius had been killed by his own men. Alexander came upon the dying Darius (pictured here in this 1900 illustration) and ordered a proper burial for Darius. Alexander later married a daughter of Darius named Stateira.
