The oldest written records of puppetry can be found in the writings
of Herodotus and Xenophon (the Greek word translated as "puppet" is
"νευρόσπαστος" which literally means "drawn by strings"). Aristotle
(who was a very Big Egg in Ancient Greece) discusses puppets in his work ‘On
the Motion of Animals.’
"The movements of animals may be compared with those of
automatic puppets, which are set going on the occasion of a tiny movement; the
levers are released, and strike the twisted strings against one another."
Talking of twisted strings, Prigentia and Veracitude are
struggling in their different approaches to acceptable language utterances.
Prigentia leaves the session with what Maslow called ‘a sense of self-actualization’. Veracitude leaves with a black eye.
