Moving eastward from the area of Herat, the Macedonian leader encountered fierce resistance from the local rulers of what had been Iranian satraps which were the early eastern Iranian sub-tribes of the Kambojas (i.e. Aspasio and Assakenoi clans) as well as the ancestors of the Pushtuns. In a letter to his mother, Alexander desc ...
