In World War II, during the Greco-Italian War a similar battle cry "άέρα" (aera) was used by the Greek soldiers. During the Fascist "Ventennio", the same war-cry (modified as "eja eja alalà", where "eja" had the same meaning of war-cry, taken from Aeschylus and Plato) was adopted by the Arditi, a special corps of the Fascist Army. It was invented by Gabriele Dannunzio after the Capture of Fiume. In the TV show Xena: Warrior Princess, the war-cry "Alalaes", an alternate writing for Alale is used by the title character.
