The '''Battle of Ispus''' was fought in 301 B.C. between the aged [[Antigonus]] and [[Demetrius]] against [[Seleucus]] and [[Lysimachus]] as part of the [[Wars of the Diadochi]].  Seleucus and Lysiamachus, fighting on behalf of Cassander, won the battle after making excellent use of [[war elephants]] and were aided by deserters from Antigonus' own troops.  Antigonus was killed, but Demetrius escaped and set up control over western [[Asia Minor]].  Cassander was recognized as king of [[Macedonia]] for his triumph, but died the next year.
