英语词汇“whom the gods would destroy they first make mad”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

(a) whom the gods would destroy they first make mad and variants. [Apparently after post-classical Latin quos Deus vult perdere prius dementat, lit. ‘those who God wants to perish, he first makes mad’ (1607 or earlier), itself perhaps after Hellenistic Greek ὄταν ὁ δαίμων ἀνδρὶ πορσύνῃ κακά, τὸν νοῦν ἔβλαψε πρῶτον, lit. ‘when a spirit prepares evil for a man, he first confuses the mind’, apparently quoted from an earlier source in Athenagoras of Athens Legatio sive Supplicatio pro Christianis, chap. 26 section 2; compare also a very similar passage in Scholia (Byzantine Greek or earlier) on Sophocles Antigone 620. A former attribution of the proverb to Euripides cannot be confirmed.]
