Darius III wins at Issus

Darius III sees the initial attack as a feint that it is and slams into Alexander's main attack with the Greek Mercenaries and kill Alexander.

The battle then becomes an utter disaster and route for the Macedonians as the Persians have already captured their supplies and cut off their escape route. So they either surrender or die.

Speculate away.

Much depends whether Alex dies or not. If he lives, he can manage to work out a peace where he keeps Western Anatolia, and he can devote himself to consolidate an empire in the Balkans and/or interventing in Italy.
If he dies, persia might come out anew as paramount in Greece.
