Resistance to Alexander the GreatSome time before the Battle of Issus Sabaces left Egypt with his army to join Darius III in Syria and support him in his fight against Alexander the Great. When the Battle of Issus took place (November 333 BC) Alexander and his horsemen fought their way through the enemy troops until they came in close vicinity to Darius III, whose life was therefore threatened. Darius III was protected by the most noble Persians, among them also Sabaces, who was killed:[3] {{quote|Of the Persians were killed Arsames, Rheomithres, and Atizyes who had commanded the cavalry at the Granicus. Sabaces, viceroy of Egypt, and Bubaces, one of the Persian dignitaries, were also killed, besides about 100,000 of the private soldiers, among them being more than 10,000 cavalry.|The Anabasis of Alexander by Arrian, translated by E. J. Chinnock, Book II, Chapter XI[4]}}The Persian king fled because he feared for his life; therefore the Macedonians won the battle. SuccessorMazaces was probably the successor of Sabaces in Egypt, but because Sabaces had taken with him nearly all occupying forces, Mazaces was not able to organize military resistance against the Macedonians. Therefore, Alexander the Great was able to take Egypt without fighting (332 BC). Notes1. ^{{cite book |title=CNG: EGYPT, Persian Administration. Sabakes. Circa 340-333 BC.
