Pasargadae (Persian tribe)
The Pasargadae were an Iranian tribe from Persis or Persia Proper, in modern southwestern Iran. This tribe was one of the three main and leading Persian tribes alongside the Maraphii and the Maspii. From the Pasargadae came the Achaemenid royal family. The first capital of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, Pasargadae, was in the land of this tribe and took its name from them.
