Quote:10 thousand is not much? It's nearly the equivalent of a Greek city state's army.
... light infantry and cavalry?? ok. And how many city states were there in this little corner of Europe called Greece? Plus, the "not much" part had to do with the assumed sixe of the rest of the Persian army... Of course they would send a sizable force, else it would only be asking for trouble...
