For their incursion into mainland Greece they first gained the support of cities and tribes in Thrace and then Macedonia and Thessaly, through which they had to pass. They also spread money lavishly around in central Greece and this brought in to their side Thebes, Phocia and other Boeotian cities, Locris, Malis, Thessaly, adding another 40,000 to their army.
The rest of the Persian forces were not allies as they were part of the Persian Empire (Egypt, Phoenicia, Mesopotamia etc), and provided military and naval forces as directed.
