Made of stiffened and painted linen
The actor could play more than one part with the use of different masks
Men could play female roles, and vise versa
Mouth hole allowed for projection of the voice
Greek theatre had a lot of plays that involved gods
Many masks of different gods (Dionysus)

Masks were also used in celebrations and ceremonies
Masks covered most of head, with eye holes, mouth hole
The Greek thought that the masks should “melt” onto the actor's face;the mask was to become an actual part of the face to the audience
Greek mask makers were called skeuopoios, “maker of the properties”
Over exaggerated facial features
