Thalia and Melpomene

Comedic Thalia is one of nine muses. They are associated with music, song and dance. Supposedly, they were fathered by Zeus. Thalia’s name means ‘blooming, rich festivity’. Other renderings include ‘joyous, verdant’.

Melpomene, means “choir.” She personifies tragedy. She carries in hand a tragic mask or sword.

Both Thalia and Melpomene are sometimes adorned with ivy.
