Battle of Granicus (334 BC) (2004)

“Philip II of Macedonia built a powerful army and used it to bring all of Greece under his rule. After his assassination in 336 BC Philip’s 20-year-old son Alexander inherited the throne. Alexander promptly crossed the Hellespont into Turkey intent on conquering the mighty Persian Empire."

"The first major battle came at the Granicus River. Alexander led his elite Companion cavalry across the river to draw the attention of the Persians. It worked, almost too well. Alexander was nearly killed when the Persians counterattacked, but the tactic worked. Alexander’s Macedonian phalanxes were able to cross the river and defeat the Persian army.”
