She escaped back to a Persians, in which the Persian king Xerxes I declared she had fought "like a man" when a rest of his fleet got fought "like women". Herodotus as well had the favourable opinion of her, despite her trend lines of Persia, probably because he was also from either Halicarnassus. Artemisia convinced Xerxes to retreat back to Asia Minor after the kill at Salamis, contrary to the advice of Mardonius, who wanted Xerxes to stay.
