Euphemism is a tricky word because even though it starts with a vowel, it doesn't sound like it starts with a vowel. So in this case, even though technically "an," would seem correct, "a" is actually what you should use. Because the "e" in euphemism doesn't sound like a vowel, it would sound strange to use "an."

A euphemism is a word that is meant to imply another in a way that is slightly less harsh or direct. One euphemism for prison, jail, rehabilitation center or penitentiary could be "pen."

It is during Antigone's procession to the cave that the euphemisms, which are indirect references to upsetting matters of death, occur in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.CE.).

Specifically, the chorus describes Theban Princess Antigone as heading towards the final "bridal chamber" where all mortals end up. Antigone explains that everyone goes to sleep in the presence of Hades the Underworld god of the afterlife. Then she observes that her wedding goes through, to the lord of the Dark Lake in the Underworld of death.
