What were some of the greek masks called?

Greek masks used in theatre are primarily referred to as "theatrical masks," with specific types including "komos" masks for comedy and "tragedy" masks for serious performances. They were made from materials like wood, linen, or leather and featured exaggerated facial expressions to convey emotions clearly to the audience. These masks allowed actors to portray multiple characters and facilitated the performance of male actors in female roles, as women were generally not allowed to act in ancient Greek theatre.
