Answer:

The army marched to safety, perpetuating the myth of a sneeze's power.

Explanation:

This line of the passage reveals that the Greeks had certain superstitions about sneezes that amounted to adoring them as a superhuman power that brought good fortune.

While there was no substantial evidence to prove that sneezes were indeed good luck charms or signs, the myth was perpetrated by the happenstance occurrence of a sneeze during a speech and the successful march of the army following the choice of a new commander.
