Both Uses of
beguile
in
Medea by Euripides - (translated by: E.P. Coleridge)
- …been felled to furnish with oars the chieftain's hands, who went to fetch the golden fleece for Pelias; for then would my own mistress Medea never have sailed to the turrets of Iolcos, her soul with love for Jason smitten, nor would she have beguiled the daughters of Pelias to slay their father and come to live here in the land of Corinth with her husband and children, where her exile found favour with the citizens to whose land she had come, and in all things of her own accord was she…†
- Next I caused the death of Pelias by a doom most grievous, even by his own children's hand, beguiling them of all their fear.†
