Euripides, Suppliant Women, 301-302


ἐγὼ δέ ς', ὦ παῖ, πρῶτα μὲν τὰ τῶν θεῶνthat it is useless for women to give good advice. First, my son, I exhort thee give good heed to heaven’s will, lest from slighting it thou suffer shipwreck; Probably spurious. for in this one single point thou failest, though well-advised in all else. Further, I would have patiently endured, had it not been my duty


σκοπεῖν κελεύω μὴ σφαλῇς ἀτιμάσας:that it is useless for women to give good advice. First, my son, I exhort thee give good heed to heaven’s will, lest from slighting it thou suffer shipwreck; Probably spurious. for in this one single point thou failest, though well-advised in all else. Further, I would have patiently endured, had it not been my duty
