Marital alliance happened between Selecus' hot daughter and Chandragupt after the latter slapped his to-be Sasurji in the one war where the Maurya empire expanded over what is now Afghanistan.
Chandragupt got his hot daughter and his territory.
Selecus got 400 elephants or some shit, big deal.
There was one nibba called Megasthenes who toured most of Bharat, he couldn't believe there was another civilization that was equal-equal to or even exceeding the Greek one, so he huffed on some copium that one of their wine-premi gods came here and taught Indians civilization, also believed one of the gods here was Hercules .
TLDR is these tribes were racist af and so we were back in the day, but both were ancient civilizations equal-equal to us.
What we have now is Gora doing WE WUZ KANGZ with his construct of "Western Civilization" and inferiority complex pajeet Elites after being under foreign heel for 1k years believe as gospel truth.
1. Seleucids later whine in their records that ' Sandrocottus' had basically given them bunch of his old almost ready to retire war elephants, who pretty much all got old and died within the next 5-10 years of natural causes. I wonder if this was ' evol chanakya-niti' of giving a Rolls Royce with a mazda engine inside.
2. The greeks thinking Heraklius ( herculues) came to India and Indians worshipped him is a classic case of cultural miscommunication.
Not many Indians or even Hindus know this, but in the older versions of Mahabharata, Balarama had a much more active role ( there is even a buddhist version of mahabharata where basically Balaram is doing what Krishna did and Krishna just stuck to being a panzy playing with girls like a younger spoilt bro and its Balaram, not Krishna, doing all the sulah-mashwarah with Kauravas-Pandavas etc).
Even in archaeology, we see more prominent role of Balaraam in the years gone by, not being a ' mute goody goody boy' like he has become in the later mahabharata.
And when the Greeks came, the Yadavas specifically used ' Hari-kula' as their main title of linkage with Krishna, not Yadava. We see this even in later republican period of haryana-Punjab, with the Soorseinis, Arjunayana, etc. groups using ' Hari Kula' as their main titular title after the royal titles.
So i forgive the greeks on this one, because if i was greek and came to a land where people were calling themselves descendants of a big STRONK-boi ( note that Balaraam is supposed to Bheem + Duryodhans baap in pure muscle-power in all versions of mahabharata, by far the most shaktishaali person in the tale after Hanumaan himself) calling themselves ' Harikula' to equal to something to do with Herakles, aka Hercules.
