Masks of Thalia and Melpomene

Description

Blah – 101 and still nothing, sorry guys – I just haven’t had time to put anything together. But I will, i promise.

Anyway, this was just sort of fooling around with the camera - ~beroul just got a Nikon D60 because he wanted to learn how to do proper photography. I think I was just sitting on the floor talking to him while he was snapping away. I particularly liked these ones because they really look nothing like my other stuff – I’ve noticed an annoying constancy in my work – no real facial expression, I’m looking aloof and disinterested (not good)! So when I discovered these I was quite happy!

I think wiki hates me, the image reminded me of those comedy and tragedy theatrical masks – but for the life of me I can’t find what they’re actually called – after hours on wiki (let along other places on the net) the most I’ve been able to find is that they theory behind the masks spawns from 2 entirely different God – Dionysus the Greek God of win (the masks are thought to represent the 2 stages of wine – happiness and regret) and Janus the Roman God of doorways and archways (has has a face 2 faces).

Edit:
Big thanks to ~ffrebel for finding the name. I still vaguely remember a collective name for both masks, but Thalia and Melpomene work much better - thank you!

If anyone knows the names of the masks, please me know!
