There were 180,000 Persian infantrymen and cavalrymen in the advancing force. However the narrowness of the pass at Thermopylai meant that only a few thousand infantry were committed at any stage.

Another 120,000 sailors and marines were on the ships in the neargy strait of Artemesion where the main action took place.
