The Persians greatest army was The Immortals. There were about 10,000 of them and as soon as one died another Immortal replaced him. They were all specially trained warriors. They also had smaller weaker army that were defeated at Thermopylae. The Greeks and Spartans were defeated though because a Greek spy told the Persians a way around the pass of Thermopylae and the Greeks and Spartans were surrounded.
