impunity
in
Medea, by Euripides - (translated by: T.A. Buckley)
(Auto-generated)
- For never, I swear by my mistress whom I revere most of all, and have chosen for my assistant, Hecate, who dwells in the inmost recesses of my house, shall any one of them wring my heart with grief with impunity.†
*impunity = exemption or freedom from punishment or loss
- Does she trust that after having slain the princes of this land, she shall herself escape from this house with impunity?†
- Surely I could make long reply to these words, if the Sire Jupiter did not know what treatment thou receivedst from me, and what thou didst in return; but you were mistaken, when you expected, having dishonored my bed, to lead a life of pleasure, mocking me, and so was the princess, and so was Creon, who proposed the match to thee, when he expected to drive me from this land with impunity.†
