Therefore, people of Souli were divided into three groups, one of which headed to Zalogo in order to settle there according to the agreement. Ali Pasha, instead of keeping what was agreed upon, attacked them fiercely at Zalogo sending numerous armed forces and demanding the surrender of their weapons and their tranfer to Ioannina. The consequences were tragic for the brave people of Souli. One part of them broke through the noose and were saved. Another fled to the monastery of Saint Taxiarchis where they were captivated. A group of about sixty women along with their children, in order to avoid the disgrace, resorted to the edge of a cliff called . When the Turks approached the women preferred a glorious death over slavery and disgrace. They held one another hand in hand and started dancing. ''Then , having pushed their children downwards into the chaotic abyss, they jumped off the steep rocks and died, along with their beloved children. Undefiled! Free!'' This conduct of the women of Souli is not only admirable but also unique. The muse praised their heroic death: Farewell poor world, Farewel sweet life, And you, miserable homeland, Farewell forever A fish doesn't live on land, not the flower in the sand, And the women of Souli can't live Without freedom!
