Ancient Greek "voodoo" dolls

well. when we speak about voodoo our mind goes to Tahiti or Africa.
but also at the ancient Greek and roman world there was something like voodoo dolls.
in ancient Greek spells the person who cast the spell is frequently used some dolls which represents the target of the spell.
Often in love spells or mind control spells the doll was with his hands and legs bound.
with the spells the ancient Greeks asked the aid of many gods as Hermes, Charon, Hecate, and Persephone ,or ares (in war spells), to make the spell done.
