Pindar’s Pythian Ode 4.213–219 exhibits the reflexes of a
domestic love-charm, the ἀγωγή (“a spell to lead [somebody] away”).
The same applies for Aeschylus’s Prometheus Vinctus 647–682 (Io’s
account of her metamorphosis). In both text passages, the love-charm
is described by means of a set of images, namely, the ‘arrow (of desire)’,
‘burning (fire)’ and ‘whip/goad’. While the very same associations
can be found in one Atharvavedic Hymn (3.25), some characteristics
of the love-charm occur in a more blurred form in an Eddic
mythical episode. In both the Old Norse and Greek text passages, the
submission of the beloved, caused by the love-spell, is expressed by
means of the Indo-European root *demh2- ‘to tame’.
