What were the Immortals?
Hi,I guess you are you are referring to the Persian Immortals (the ones you can see in the movie 300).They were the elite fighting force of ancient Persia."The Achaemenid Persian Immortals, usually referred to as the Persian Immortals or The Immortals were an elite force of Persian soldiers who performed the dual roles of both Imperial Guard and standing army during the Achaemenid Empire's expansion and during the Greco-Persian Wars. Herodotus describes the Immortals as being heavy infantry led by Hydarnes that were kept constantly at a strength of exactly 10,000 men (also written as the "Ten Thousand Immortals") - every killed, seriously wounded or sick member was immediately replaced with a new one, maintaining the cohesion of the unit. [1] The regiment accepted only Median, Elamite or Persian applicants."Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Immortals-Toffeeen
