The Ancient Greek term for a theater mask was Prosopon, meaning "face" & the mask-makers were called Skeuopoios or "props-maker" Mask of Io transformed into a heifer for Aeschylus' tragic play "Prometheus Bound", mask created by Helena Sardeau for the 1930 Delphic Festival.

Check this, just found the original silent film documenting the 1st Delphic Festival, 1927. Watch scenes from the "Prometheus Bound" play performance & a Pyrrhichios war dance. Worth 6 minutes of your time- Enjoy! youtu.be/5XD5gp9KDo4

The word MUMBO-JUMBO originally meant a talisman, or a ritual protective dance—it probably derives from a West African word, ‘maamajomboo’, for a dancer’s mask. Because these performances were so unintelligible to outsiders, the word eventually came to mean ‘confusing language’.
