MEDEA: And furthermore we are women, unable to perform noble deeds, but most skillful architects of every sort of harm.

[ΜΉΔΕΙΑ:Πρὸς δὲ καὶ πεφύκαμεν
γυναῖκες, ἐς μὲν ἔσθλ᾽ ἀμηχανώταται,
κακῶν δὲ πάντων τέκτονες σοφώταται.]

Euripides presses his thumb on the scales a little bit heavily here.

Altho' by nature form'd
Without a genius apt for virtuous deeds.
We women are in mischiefs most expert.

Of slight capacity, but to revenge
Of ready and inventive subtlety.

Most profitless indeed to noble works,
But cunningest devisers of all harms.
