If you want to fight for your throne, fight, and do not run away. Wherever you hide, be sure I'll find you". Darius got offended, but, after the defeat at Issa he again proposed making peace with even greater concessions. Alexander again rejected. Before the Battle of Gaugamela Darius once again suggested making peace and unheard-of concessions. In addition to huge sums of money and territories, he offered his son Okha as a hostage. Because of the unusual nature of the proposal, Alexander brought this problem to the discussion of the military council. The military commander Parmenion said: "If I were Alexander, I would accept these proposals". "And I would accept them," Alexander answered, "if I were Parmenion." Darius was refused for the third time. As a result, Alexander took everything. The Macedonian never discussed the idea of partitioning Asia with Darius, because he did not consider him the owner of Persia. At the same time, there is no doubt that all the papers that determined Darius the owner of Persia were in order. But the Macedonian had the main "piece of paper" – his force.

His will in the domestic sphere – to buy yachts, palaces and stuff. As soon as he exceeds the limits, that is, creates the slightest threat, the situation changes. The authorities will not bargain with him for the same reason as Alexander did not bargain with Darius. He will be immediately put in his place (the choice is not rich: either obey, or to London, or to Siberia). Persian society recognized the power of the king, until he refused to take a challenge. It limited Darius strategic initiatives. For
