ABOUTThe evil eye is a curse believed to be cast by a malevolent glare, usually given to a person when they are unaware. Many cultures believe that receiving the evil eye can cause misfortune or injury. Talismans created to protect against the evil eye are frequently called \"evil eyes\".
The idea expressed by the term causes many different cultures to pursue protective measures against it. The concept and its significance vary widely among different cultures. The idea even appears several times in translations of the Old Testament. It is also a widely extended belief among many Mediterranean and Asian tribes and cultures.
NAZARCharms and decorations with eye-like symbols known as nazars, and are used to repel the evil eye. Belief in the evil eye dates back to Classical antiquity. It is referenced by Hesiod, Callimachus, Plato, Diodorus Siculus, Theocritus, Plutarch, Heliodorus, Pliny the Elder, and Aulus Gellius. Peter Walcot\'s Envy and the Greeks (1978) listed more than 100 works by these and other authors mentioning the evil eye.
