Greek masks, commonly used in ancient theater, are known as "prosopon" (meaning "face" or "mask"). There are two primary types: tragic masks, which typically have exaggerated features to convey sorrow or seriousness, and comic masks, characterized by larger, more humorous expressions. These masks were crafted from materials like linen, wood, or leather and were essential for actors to portray different characters and emotions in performances.
