In the Golden Age of Athens, plays were created, near the same time as the Olympics. To express emotion, the actors did not have enough time to change their whole outfit, so they changed their elaborate masks to show emotion for that scene. The classic mask, with a smile and frown came from the fact that their were only two types of plays, comedy and tragedies; in other words, laughing/happy, shock/sadness/pity.
