Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:22:56 +0000 #comment-784831 My Dear Historian Friend: I am most appreciative of your views and thank you. Remember, the figures may not be correct but the outcome is. General Miltiades was given command of the Greek army and he never lost any of the battles he was in. The Persians lost at Marathon and never entered Athens..many years later, Leoniades and the 300 Spartans threw back another Persian army and Athens together with Spartans repelled these enemies. It is not the size of the army that counts but rather the battle techinques used, coupled with a well trained and determined force.

J.M.Cook belived that all of the Iranians killed in second period battle with Greeks is 25000 that i think is near to fact. In Plataea battle Iranians were very brave and breaking spear of Greeks that was very taller than thier spear by tiher hands and. attacked with sort spear to to greeks soldiers with thier tall spear..because in this battle almost soldier were Iranians and with same race with persians and faithful and ther were not non Iranians that almost were not faithful and ususally fleer.

Elia,
I will raise some points about your writings:
1) I Have never thought the Persians as cowards and no historian thinks like that since no country creates an empire having cowards as soldiers; the 20000 Persians who died at Thermopylae did so facing front,the Persians who faced the full wrath of the Spartan war machine at Plataea,(the Athenians faced firstly the Thebans who were Persia's allies) and died by the thousands must have been some of the bravest men on earth standing to fight with virtually no chance against the Spartans.
