Answer:

They had more archers than the Persians.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the time the routed Persians reached their ships, they had lost 6,400 men; the Greeks lost 192 men, including Callimachus. The battle proved the superiority of the Greek long spear, sword, and armour over the Persians' weapons. They also had more Archers then the Persians.
