MACEDONIAN & PERSIAN EMPIRES at WAR.
In the previous century Greece was invaded by the Persian Empire. Although the Persians had
since been driven out, many Greeks wanted revenge. Alexander, King of Macedon, son of Philip
II, was no exception. In 334 BC, Alexander crossed into Asia with an army of Phalanx foot
soldiers and his elite Companion Cavalry. The Macedonians destroyed a forward Persian army at
the Granicus River and pushed further into Persian territory.
ALEXANDER DEFEATS PERSIANS AT ISSUS
Alexander met the Persian King, Darius III, and his army in battle at Issus the following year. The
Companion Cavalry formed up in two groups, on either side of the infantry in the center. The
Persian army, outnumbering the Greeks, were deployed on the opposite side of a river. With a
mighty battle cry, Alexander led his charging cavalry across the river and into the Persian ranks.
The enemy's left flank crumbled. Alexander sustained a flesh wound in the attack, but bravely
fought on, redirecting his troops towards the Persian mercenaries in the center. The Greek
Phalanxes pressed in, ripping through Persian lines and caused chaos. Darius fled the
battlefield, leaving his family to be captured by the Greeks.
EMPIRE EARTH
This fine portrait of Alexander astride his horse graces the box of Empire Earth, a real-time
strategy computer game developed by Stainless Steel Studios and published by Sierra Studios.
In the single player Greek campaign, you can command Alexander and his forces at the battle of
Issus and other famous battles.
Many of Mark Churms other military history paintings are also featured prominently in this
spectacular computer game.
