The name is unique, we know.
The name comes from antiquity and was the name of town where a great battle, “The Battle of Issus” occurred in southern Anatolia in 333 BC between the Hellenic League led by Alexander the Great and the Achaemenid Empire, led by Darius III. The Battle of Issus, was the second great battle of Alexander’s conquest of Asia, the first being the “The Battle of Granicus” near the Biga River in current day Turkey.
The battle took place south of the ancient town, which is close to the present-day Turkish town of Iskenderun or the Turkish equivalent of “Alexandria”, founded by Alexander to commemorate his victory.
Essentially the battle was a conflict between the East and the West. The Battle of Issus was a decisive Hellenic victory and it marked the beginning of the end of Persian power. It was the first time the Persian army had been defeated in over 200 years.
The battle has been depicted several times throughout history in paintings and was documented by Callisthenes‘, a well known Greek historian in Macedon, who accompanied Alexander the Great during the Asiatic expedition. The philosopher Aristotle was Callisthenes’ great uncle.
In this battle, the Macedonians were greatly outnumbered but thru excellent leadership and tactics the smaller force led by Alexander was able to outmaneuver and quickly defeat the larger forces of Darius III.
This is our view at Issus Discovery – a smaller, focused and experienced force can handle large challenges thru leadership, skill and action.
