There's no way in hell that there was a million man army at that time. It would be simply too unsustainable to support by sea. Persia just did not have the capacity to feed & clothe & arm a million man army by sea or even by land.
A more believable number would be less than 100,000. Hell I think that's way too high if a 300 man force can hold that contigent for so long. I would say it was around 25000 to 35000 total with 10 000 facing against 300 and the rest supporting forces or diverted somewhere else.
