Historical Context: Bactria, which may have formed part of the Median Empire, was subjugated by Cyrus the Great. However, after Darius III of Persia had been defeated by Alexander the Great (about 340 BC) and killed in the ensuing chaos, Alexander marched onto Bactria and Bactria became a province of the Macedonian empire. After Alexander's death they came under the rule of Seleukus, an ex-General of Alexander and a Hellenistic Greek King.
