All I got from my quick research was a moth.
Is that what you were going for? The whole transformation thing?

Nevermind, I just found this:
"One of the earliest Greek references to what is often thought to have been puppets is by Xenophon in his Symposium of 381 BC, supposedly describing a banquet of 40 years before, therefore in 421 BC. The Greek word here usually translated as 'puppets' is neurospasta, which literally means 'string-pulling', from nervus, meaning either sinew, tendon, muscle, string, or wire, and span, to pull."
And yet another word from our sponsors
