OK agreed but Xrexrxes must have taken his Immortals with him.
Xerxes must have left all the cavalry. They were more dificult to transport in ships. They were also the most reliable element in the Persian Army and they accounted themselves well until the death of Massistios.
6300 Greek casualties are possible but 60300 is half the Army.
Unlikely since the Greeks won the day.
KInd regards
Stefanos
