Puppetry was practiced in Ancient Greece and the oldest written records of puppetry can be found in the works of Herodotus and Xenophon, dating from the 5th century BC. The Greek word translated as “puppet” is “νευρόσπαστος” (nevrospastos), which literally means “drawn by strings, string-pulling”, from “νεῦρον” (nevron), meaning either “sinew, tendon, muscle, string”, or “wire”, and “σπάω” (spaō), meaning “draw, pull”.wikipedia
