Are you thinking of the alleged destruction of the Branchidae? They were a family of priests who had ceded control of the Apollonian oracle of Didyma to the Persians late during the Ionian Revolt, and allowed it to be destroyed. Kallisthenes claims their descendants, who couldn't remain in Ionia after the Persians lost control of it, founded a colony in Sogdia that Alexander destroyed in revenge. Some historians don't believe the incident actually happened.

Far beyond the rising sun
I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

Well, I'm tough, rough, ready and I'm able
To pick myself up from under this table...
