The Greek and Persian armies differed significantly in structure and strategy. The Greek army was primarily composed of citizen-soldiers known as hoplites, who fought in a phalanx formation, emphasizing close combat and discipline. In contrast, the Persian army was a vast and diverse force, often relying on a mix of professional soldiers and local conscripts, equipped with lighter armor and employing cavalry and archers. This fundamental difference in organization and tactics influenced their respective approaches to warfare, with the Greeks favoring cohesion and individual valor, while the Persians utilized their numerical superiority and mobility.
