Darius
I changed the part about Darius; ancient sources such as Arrian portray him as cowardly and the first to flee, both at Issus and Gaugamela. Don't get me wrong - I have a lot of sympathy for Darius, and am not trying to blacken his name, but the idea that he would try and face Alexander doesn't really fit with what the ancient sources tell us.

Source
A third possible source, which I've removed from Philoxenus of Eretria, was reported from William Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology (1870).as follows: " which, however, the best critics think to have been copied, more probably, from Helena's picture of the battle of Issus (see Müller, Arch'dol. d. Kunst, § 163, n. 6)."--Wetman (talk) 22:06, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Links
I've not removed it yet, as I'd like some input, but the external link at the bottom of the page doesn't provide what I'd expect from the link name, ie a full sized picture of the reconstructed mosaic, and altho it does supply more information regarding the mosaic, it seems to have been put there to primarily to drum up business for anyone who wants to buy a full size copy from the site owners.

Comments: 1. All the information you added was relevant and meaningful. You used your sources really well regarding the objectivity of your edits. The interpretations make sense and are well supported.

2. The article is really well written. Minor edits, if any, are necessary at all. Maybe look over punctuation but there is nothing major that I would change about the article. You did a really good job.
