battle of marathon had a recorded 10000.
thats the greco-persian war
i see a couple sources for a couple of campaigns in the Peloponnesian War that are again around 10000. its seems that they under state their own troop numbers and exaggerate the enemies.

You need to be more specific what time period and what type of formation or total army count and do you include their naval forces since athens was never a land power but a naval one.

It would help if you gave a specific time -- day, battle, etc.
Otherwise we have no clue -- heck, "ancient" means "45 years" to a person your age -- as in, "This guy is 45 years old, he's ANCIENT!!"
