Since, in Greek plays, there were usually one to three actors and a chorus. The masks could be used to show a change in character, since there were not enough actors to play all the parts. Masks were also used to show a physical change in a certain character. For example, in Oedipus, after he stabs his eyes out, a mask could have been used to represent this physical change(the lack of eyes).The masks were also made to help project the voices of the actors. Many of them had a type of 'megaphone' shaped mouth which allowed the voice to project to the farthest reaches of the Amphitheatre.
