In the 4th century B.C., Alexander the Great fell afoul of Pashtun tribesmen in today's Malakand Agency, where he took an arrow in the leg and almost lost his life.
In a letter to his mother on 330 B.C. described the Pakhtuns/Pathans he writes;
"Am involved in the land of "Leonine" lion-like and brave people, where every foot of the ground is like a wall of steel, confronting my soldier. You have brought only one son into the world, but everyone in this land can be called an Alexander"
