Whoops!! I stand corrected for the Imortals.
But I think I got it right for the cavalry. Medians and Sakae (Skythians) had a good cavalry tradition and Bactria produced quality heavy horse. Later in history (not this time though) Bactrian catafracts are mentioned.
Herodotus says 300000 but 200000 seem more likey to me, given tha logistical problem. Still I am speculating on that but 200000 could make the 100000 Greeks aprehensive.
Kind regards
