Granicus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Granicus River (Kocabas Çayı or Biga Çayı in modern Turkish) is a small water flow in northwestern Asia Minor. The flow begins at the base of the Mount Ida and trends generally northeasterly to the Sea of Marmara. It is located approximately 50km to the east of the Dardanelles strait (formerly known as the Hellespont)

The banks of this river near the modern-day town of Biga were the site of the Battle of the Granicus, fought in 334 BC between the Greek army of Alexander the Great against the forces of the Persian Empire under King Darius III. This was Alexander's first victory over the Persians. The river was described as having strong, turbulent current, with steep banks and varying depth.

A modern Turkish map showing this river can be found here.

Jona Lendering has pictures of the river (more like a stream) on his site.

There is also a Granicus Valles region on Mars.
