And the other Greeks retreat.
καὶ ἀναχωροῦσιν οἱ ἄλλοι Ἕλληνες.
Suddenly there appears the phantom of a woman, very terrible.

But the phantom says:
ἀλλὰ λέγει τὸ φάσμα·
“Friends, why are you still retreating?”
“ὦ φίλοι, διὰ τί ἔτι ἀναχωρεῖτε;”
Do not be afraid of the Persians, but go to the rescue and be bold.”
“μὴ φοβεῖσθε τοὺς Μήδους ἀλλὰ βοηθεῖτε καὶ τολμᾶτε.”
