[Western] Some Interesting reading

[HE Chiang]

The total fighters were roughly 300 Spartans, Leonidads' personal body 
guard, a ton of the aforementioned slaves, and about 14,000 allies, give or 
take. Sounds like a lot but Xerxes had a many more than that, want to say 
close to a million but I get a bit fuzzy there. I am sure someone will 
correct me on some of the numbers as well as the spelling of the names.
