	In 1803 the Turkish army of Ali Pasha overran the town of Souli in Northern Greece, and the survivors, mainly women and children, fled towards the coast.
	A group of them took refuge on the heights of Zalongo, but, seeing that the Turks were pursuing them, the women took hold of their children and danced.
	As the Turks advanced, the women, one by one, threw themselves and their children off the edge of the cliff, rather than face enslavement.
