Answer:

  • Granicus River

Step-by-step explanation:

Darius did not foresee the risk presented by Alexander, the youthful king of Macedon who crossed into Asia in 334 BCE. Darius' commanders, including the Greek soldier of fortune Memnon, drove their powers into their first battle against Alexander at the Granicus River, and were vanquished.
