Historical background
Herodotus describes the "Immortals", an elite body of Persian foot soldiers who guarded the Achaemenid Great King and whose ranks were always filled up at once. They carried spear, bow and quiver and accompanied Xerxes on his campaign against Greece in 480 BC. Reliefs at Susa and Persepolis show such guardsmen in splendid robes.
