These beautifully crafted comedy and tragedy key chains are the perfect gift for that special someone on your list. The comedy and tragedy masks were used by Ancient Greek actors to depict emotions to the audience from the performing stage. The faces represent the emotions of Joy and Sorrow (or Tragedy). The comedy mask is known as Thalia, in Greek mythology, the Muse of Comedy and Idyllic Poetry. She is the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne, and is portrayed as a happy, cheerful woman crowned with ivy. She is depicted with the comedy mask in one hand, and a trumpet or bulge in the other. The tragedy mask is known as Melpomene, in Greek mythology, the Muse of Tragedy. Melpomene is depicted with the tragedy mask in one hand, and a knife or a club in the other. Perfect for the performing artists: thespian, theatre, singing, dancing, acting, actress, actor, and musicals.
Just the very sight of this comedy tragedy charm will evoke thoughts and memories of the most famous plays, playwrights and musicals. No matter where your drama fan's heart is in the theater, this key chain will be cherished forever!
