So much of the story is reported by all the Hellenes, but as to what followed the Parians alone report, and they say that it happened thus:⁠—When Miltiades was at a loss, it is said, there came a woman to speech with him, who had been taken prisoner, a Parian by race whose name was Timo, an under-priestess 960 of the Earth goddesses; 961 she, they say, came into the presence of Miltiades and counselled him that if he considered it a matter of much moment to conquer Paros, he could do that which she should suggest to him; and upon that she told him her meaning. He accordingly passed through to the hill which is before the city and leapt over the fence of the temple of Demeter Giver of Laws, 962 not being able to open the door; and then having leapt over he went on towards the sanctuary 963
