[edit] Darius

I changed the part about Darius; ancient sources such as Arrian portray him as cowardly and the first to flee, both at Issus and Gaugamela. Don't get me wrong - I have a lot of sympathy for Darius, and am not trying to blacken his name, but the idea that he would try and face Alexander doesn't really fit with what the ancient sources tell us.
