Greek mumming play

[watervole]

See this page - http://ezinearticles.com/?Greek-Carnivals&id=987977 - for a play that bears resonances with the typical English mumming play. Note the role of the doctor in reviving the loser in the fight.  The Moor might be a relative of the 'Turkish Knight' in many English plays.

Well, there might be some common roots also for the Czech traditions.
