Magic has existed in all periods of antiquity. In classical Greece it was very present in all areas of life, although it was not well received. This condemnation is accentuated when the people who performed these magical practices were women, known as witches and sorceresses who, at the same time, were protected and supported by goddesses related to this discipline. All of them gained a place among those women vexed by society due to these mystical knowledges that they gathered. Despite this, their stories have survived to this day, as well as their artistic representation throughout the History of Art.Downloads
