Best Answer

Darius made the offer after Alexander had soundly defeated him at Issus. Darius had nothing to offer a triumphant Alexander who was bent on taking over the whole Persian Empire.
He had no material motives; his pride and ambition inclined him to accept all challenges and conquer his enemies wholly and definitively.
