Open translation for this passage
βασιλεύειν μὲν δὴ διʼ αὐτὴν Ἰάσονα ἐν Κορίνθῳ, Μηδείᾳ δὲ παῖδας μὲν γίνεσθαι, τὸ δὲ ἀεὶ τικτόμενον κατακρύπτειν αὐτὸ ἐς τὸ ἱερὸν φέρουσαν τῆς Ἥρας, κατακρύπτειν δὲ ἀθανάτους ἔσεσθαι νομίζουσαν·
A chain of coordinated infinitives depends on an elided or preceding reporting predicate; Medea is dative subject of γίνεσθαι, while the later accusative participle νομίζουσαν supplies the subject of the final belief construction.

The sentence has an accusative-and-infinitive construction after implied λέγεται/ἱστορεῖται: αὐτήν ... μαθεῖν and, coordinated, [αὐτήν] ... ἀπελθεῖν. φωραθεῖσαν and παραδοῦσαν are accusative feminine participles agreeing with αὐτήν; the dash tokens are punctuation-like editorial separators.
