Thus it was concerning them. But the majority of the ships at Salamis (island), Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, EuropeSalamis were sunk, some destroyed by the Athenians, some by the Aeginetans. Since the Hellenes fought in an orderly fashion by line, but the barbarians were no longer in position and did nothing with forethought, it was likely to turn out as it did. Yet they were brave that day, much more brave than they had been at +Euboea [23.833,38.566] (island), Nomos Evvoias, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Euboea, for they all showed zeal out of fear of Xerxes, each one thinking that the king was watching him.

I cannot say exactly how each of the other barbarians or Hellenes fought, but this is what happened to Artemisia, and it gave her still higher esteem with the king:

When the king's side was all in commotion, at that time Artemisia's ship was pursued by a ship of Attica [23.5,38.83] (department), Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Attica. She could not escape, for other allied ships were in front of her and hers was the nearest to the enemy. So she resolved to do something which did in fact benefit her: as she was pursued by the Attic ship, she charged and rammed an allied ship, with a Calyndian crew and Damasithymus himself, king of the Calyndians, aboard.
