years/ Bactria is a historical region of Greater India. Known by the ancient Greeks as "Bactriana" the region is located between the range of the Hindu Kush and the Amu Darya ( Oxus) also known as the Oxus civilisation. According to some writers, Bactria was the homeland of Indo-European tribes who moved south-west into Iran and into North-Western India around 2500–2000 BCE. Later, it became the north province of the Persian Empire in Central Asia. (Cotterell, 59) It was in these regions, where the fertile soil of the mountainous country is surrounded by the Turanian desert, that the prophet Zarathushtra ( Zoroaster) was said to have been born and gained his first adherents. Alexander the Great conquered Iran
without much difficulty; it was only in to the south, beyond the Oxus,
that he met strong resistance. After two years of bloody war Bactria
became a province
of the Macedonian empire, but Alexander never successfully subdued the
people. After Alexander's death, the Macedonian empire was eventually
divided up between generals in Alexander's army. Bactria became a part
of the Seleucid Empire, named after its founder, Seleucus I. Ref:JWL0143 SOLD |
