Xerxes' army traveled approximately 1,500 miles from Persia to reach Thermopylae, a strategic pass in Greece. This journey involved crossing the Hellespont and navigating through Thrace and Macedonia. The march was further complicated by the mountainous terrain and the logistical challenges of moving a large army. Despite these difficulties, Xerxes aimed to conquer Greece as part of his broader campaign against the city-states.

'Xerxes' most commonly refers to Xerxes the Great, son of Darius the Great, a Persian king (today we call that country Iran). Largely known for the battle of Thermopylae, in which a Greek army of 300 men stood up to his huge army, and wouldn't surrender. He might have been a powerful ruler, but that doesn't mean he had special magical powers.
He was important in history because he formed the biggest army in ancient history.
