[edit] Size of Persian Army

I changed the size of the Persian army from 50,000 men to a range of 20,000-30,000. Seeing as how this was a purely maritime campaign with 200 ships. A force of 50,000 would call for an unfeasbile average of 250 combatants per ship. While the average as noted by Herodotus and contemporary historians are between 100-150 per ship.--Arsenous Commodore 18:52, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
