εὖ δ᾽ ἴσθι, τοὐμόν σ᾽ εὐσεβὲς σῴζει, γύναι:
I’m a bit confused as to the subject of σῴζει. Most translations seem to take τὸ ἐμόν … εὐσεβὲς as the subject, with the translation something like “Know well that it is my piety that saves you.” But I can’t quite make sense grammatically of how the adjective εὐσεβὲς is the subject here. Wouldn’t we want something like ἡ ἐμή… εὐσέβεια?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Actually, I may have figured it out with the help of Smythe…
