Hey, I said that.

It's worth saying again though, just because armour is bronze doesn't mean it is high quality in this period. From what I know the front-rankers would all have greaves and breastplate, as well as helm, sword, shield and spear. The less well equipped soldiers would be placed in the rear ranks.

We should suppose that the Greeks were well armoured, because by all accounts Persian archery had little dicernable effect.

Herodotus' verdict says a great deal about the ability of the Persian war-machine to deal with the Greeks in this ear,

Roughly, "They wore no armour, they carried no weapons, they did not understand and they did not know hoe to fight."
