Massacre of Greeks under Alexander the Great
#8
Correct! Yes,Strabo, Plutarch and Diodorus mention this incident. Alexander had them killed as traitors of Greece, because during the rein of Xerxes they had surrendered the treasure of the temple of Didyma they were in charge of to the Persian king. They had been brought to Sogdiana by him where they had formed a "city".
