IMO the main problem with the discussion in the thread is some kind of sensibility about the Hellenic achievements, some people regarding the fact that the Persian army was not the massive hordes of slaves pitted against a few defenders of the Hellenic freedom portrayed by Greek sources as diminishing them, as a sort of revisionism. I imagine people would be less sanguine if talking about other periods/armies.
Different conclusions are ok when logically suported, but when they are based on feelings they are not, however people convinced not by reasons are unlikely to be convinced of the contrary by reasons. Anyway I do feel I am wasting my time in this thread so I will not post further in it.
