Classic Greek tragedy is not characterized by a great interest in magic. Important passages on this subject can be found, however, such as the scenes of necromancy in Aeschylus, some episodes of the career of Medea as a magician, the supposed erotic charm of Deianira or the binding hymn of the Eumenides. There are also brief allusions to such beliefs and practices. In Euripides's Hippolytus the references to love magic play an important role in characterizing Phaedra and her nurse.
