Examples of Demetrius in a Sentence

1. Christopher Faraone:

   Most of the curses are what we call binding spells: they aim at binding or inhibiting the performance of a rival. A lot of them have to do with legal cases. They say things like, Bind the tongue and the thoughts of so-and-so, who is about to testify against me on Monday, we have some that are aimed at rival musicians or actors, and a couple that seem to be connected with athletics. We have some that run something like this, Bind Helen, so that she is unsuccessful when she flirts or makes love with Demetrius. But the great majority of them seem to be connected with lawsuits.

2. Justin Miller:

   These are crimes. It's not something that you do in the line of duty. They are above and beyond the scope of what a police officer should be doing, if these officers saw Demetrius do what they did to him to someone else, they would immediately put him in jail and he'd be tried and convicted -- so, we want the same thing to happen to them.

3. Athenus:

   It was a saying of Demetrius Phalereus, that 'Men having often abandoned what was visible for the sake of what was uncertain, have not got what they expected, and have lost what they had,--being unfortunate by an enigmatical sort of calamity.'
