		Both had for years been part of a loose and sometimes ruptured coalition with Ptolemy and Seleucus but this time they knew that they must directly involve these powers in an assault on Antigonus.
		This battling amidst the trenches is reminiscent of Roman warfare.
		The Hellespont was too well held by Demetrius and it seems probable the intention was to cross further north near Byzantium, a longer journey but one that would allow them to disembark not far from Heraclea.

	Battle of Cynossema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Cynossema was a naval battle in the Hellespont in 411 BC between Athens and Sparta, around the same time the Athenian democracy was overthrown in favour of a short-lived oligarchy.
		The Peloponnesian fleet, led by Sparta, was stationed at Miletus waiting for the Phoenician fleet (which, unknown to them, was being held up by the Athenian Alcibiades elsewhere).
		They assumed they had won the battle and began chasing individual Athenian ships, but Thrasybulus, ignoring the Syracusans for the moment, reorganized and soon routed the Spartan ships, which had moved out of formation.

		In time of peace, the dependent princes, with their national troops, attended the royal camp in regular succession; but when Attila collected his military forces, he was able to bring into the field an army of five, or, according to another account, of seven hundred thousand barbarians.

	Battle of Issus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		After crossing over from the Greek mainland at the Hellespont and defeating the Persians for the first time at the Battle of Granicus, Alexander went southwards throughout Ionia along the Mediteranian to free the Greek cities from Persian rule and to secure the coast of Asia Minor.
		The battle was still very much at issue when Alexander led a charge with his heavy cavalry straight at Darius himself; he was easy to spot in his golden chariot.
		After this battle the most obvious strategy would have been that Alexander move to the east together with his army and royal hostages, to the heart of the Persian Empire before Darius had time to recruit new soldiers.

	Herodotus: Xerxes at the Hellespont
		The army of Darius was defeated at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BCE and that of Xerxes I at Salamis in 486 BCE.
		Xerxes flew into a rage at this, and he commanded that the Hellespont be struck with three hundred strokes of the whip and that a pair of foot-chains be thrown into the sea.
		Once the ships were alongside one another, they released huge anchors, both from the end near the Pontus because of the winds blowing from that sea, and on the other end towards the west and the Aegean because of the western and southern winds.

	Classical Hack - Events After Alexander - page 4
		The battle for the Hellespont (321 BC; Diodorus 18: 29-32) was one of the first battles fought after Alexander's death in the Successors' civil war.
		Both commanders were able to field 20,000 infantry but Eumenes barely had time to gather a phalanx and properly train them, whereas Craterus brought veteran infantry to the battlefield who were rather inspired by their charismatic leader.
		Both leaders decided to line up their phalanxes in the center with cavalry on the wings.

	The battle on the Granicus
		The Persian king Darius III was not present; the Macedonians and Greeks had to fight against the armies recruited from the satrapies of Asia Minor.
		In the meantime, Darius' captains, having collected large forces, were encamped on the further bank of the river Granicus, and it was necessary to fight, as it were, in the gate of Asia for an entrance into it.
		However, he persisted obstinately to gain the passage, and at last with much ado making his way up the banks, which were extremely muddy and slippery, he had instantly to join in a mere confused hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, before he could draw up his men, who were still passing over, into any order.

	J.S.White and the Seven Trumpets
		In the battle of Nineveh, which was fiercely fought from daybreak to the eleventh hour, twenty-eight standards, besides those which might be broken or torn, were taken from the Persians; the greatest part of their army was cut in pieces, and the victors, concealing their own loss, passed the night on the field.
		When you fight the battles of the Lord, acquit yourselves like men, without turning your backs; but let not your victory be stained with the blood of women or children.
		The periods of the battle of Cadesia were distinguished by their peculiar appellations.

	Summary of and commentary on Herodotus' Histories, book 7
		The battle of Thermopylae can be dated with some accuracy: 17, 18 and 19 September (or one day later).
		It may be that Leonidas' kamikaze had a religious motivation: if the oracle announced that the Spartans would loose their town or their king, it was reasonable to sacrifice a king to save the city.
		When a Persian herald demanded the surrender of arms, the king shouted back 'come here to get them'; and when he had seen that he was surrounded, he commanded his men to have a good breakfast since their dinner would be served in hell.

		Her drapery serves to dramatically emphasize both her dynamic forward movement against the wind and her full, robust form-her powerful thighs and the active, contracted muscles of her torso.
		He almost immediately admits that the Nike in fact faces away from the site of the battle, rationalizing that it would have been difficult to make her face the Hellespont from the site of her installation.
		Because Perseus fled to Samothrace seeking asylum after his defeat at Pydna and was then trapped there by the Pergamene navy, and thereby ultimately captured by the Romans, the island is the actual scene of victory, and, unlike the battle in the Hellespont, the Nike of Samothrace may really overlook the point of capture.
