    the exception of the Spartans, were not actually
    as uniformly equipped as depicted because each
    soldier would buy his own arms and decorate them
    at his discretion.

  • The initial positions of the troops before the
    clash. The Greeks (blue) have pulled up their
    wings to bolster the corners of their
    significantly smaller centre in a shape. The
    Persian fleet (red) waits some way off to the
    east. This great distance to the ships played a
    crucial role in the later stages of the battle.
