The Greek army was ...( 3 weeks ago by arikat1)
The Greek army was around 2000. Mostly Arkadians. The Spartans led the army.m And also they were wearing a strong Armour in legs thighs chest and arms in contrary with the persians who were wearing just clothes. After that it's pretty accurate. The Arkadians left and the Spartans fought to the death.

To be fair to the Persians they did have well-trained troops and decent quality armour and weapons. The Persian forces of the time were the only army in the world wherein the soldiers actually wore uniforms. The Spartans of course fought almost naked, but other armies of the time were usually conscripted forces where the troops had to provide their own equipment and clothing.
The problem for the Persians was pride, the terrain, and the fact that the Spartans were the absolute best of the best
The Persians were ...( 14 hours ago by PerseusV)
The Persians were ruling and controlling the Greeks??? Riiight. Read some history first my friend. You may admire the Persians, and I don't blame you, because they did have a powerful Empire etc but ,although they wanted to, they never managed to control greece and it's people. Actually that was the dream of both Darius and Xerxes but none of them were successful in that. Being from sparta I could take it personally, but I just assume that you were misinformed.
