Throughout history, and even still today, debate has sparked over the actual number of men Xerxes army numbered, because of the lack of realism and level of reality behind the figure given from Herodotus, it is so hard to believe that a force so large could have been held off by a force so minute, It is said by Herodotus of Halicarnassus, who wrote the first history of this war, the size of Xerxes army numbered 2,641,610 of which 517,610 where of the fleet crew, 1,700,000 infantry, 80,000 Calvary, 20,000 Arabs and Libyans, 324,000 Greek troops allied with Persia [5], numbers so large, would have been impossible to move, however, Herodotus also tells us that this figure nearly doubles when you account for support troops and thus reports of a Persian force numbering 5,283,220 men, a figure that seemed out of this world by modern estimations, the poet Simonides, talks of about 4,000,000, and Cnidus and Artaxerxes the 2 nd? wrote a history of Persia about a century later which had not survived, but gave estimations of about 800,000 as Xerxes total army after crossing the Hellespont. [6] Furthering on Modern scholars have given different estimates based on knowledge of the Persian military systems, and some estimations tend to consider that the figures given in the ancient texts as miscalculations or exaggerations on the part of the victors, modern estimations however, range from 100,000 to 400,000 which seem more realistic, however, based on the movie, which gave an idea of the amount of men, numbering in the millions, just seems to far fetched and impossible / high unlikely based on a number of aspects, like shelter, food, moving a number so large over such a vast area of land, which are all highly probable factors, that where not portrayed in the movie.
