Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of suborning or instigating was often associated with legal and political contexts, where individuals might be secretly influenced to give false testimony or to act in a way that served the interests of another party. This reflects the broader cultural understanding of deceit and manipulation as tools used by those seeking power or control.
