Eто ти отговор конкретно на въпроса - траки в Александровата армия:

Thus had Alexander arranged matters on the right wing. On the left the Thracians under the command of Sitalces had been posted angular-wise, and near them the cavalry of the Grecian allies, under the direction of Coeranus. Next stood the Odrysian cavalry, under the command of Agatho, son of Tyrimmas. In this part, in front of all, were posted the auxiliary cavalry of the Grecian mercenaries, under the direction of Andromachus, son of Hiero. Near the baggage the infantry from Thrace were posted as a guard. The whole of Alexander's army numbered 7,000 cavalry and about 40,000 infantry.
+
This army had an excellent mixture of arms- the lightly armed Cretan and Macedonian archers, the Thracians, and the Agrianian javelin men; the striking force was the cavalry, and the core of the army was the infantry phalanx, 9,000 strong, armed with shields and five and one half meter long spears, the sarises, and the 3,000 men of the royal troops, the hypaspists.
+
but Alexander, coming up with the phalanx, whilst the Thebans were in the disorder of pursuit, drove them back in turn and entered the gates along with them, when a fearful massacre ensued committed principally by the Thracians in Alexander's service.
+
He marched his army into the Thracian territory and chased out the Persians. The Thracians allied themselves with Alexander who, with his Thracian mission completed, moved towards the Hellespont, the thin stretch of water that separates Europe from Asia Minor.
+
Macedonians claimed kinship with the Illyrians, Thracians and Phrygians, not with Greeks.
