Muse Melpomene
Muse of Tragedy

 She is usually represented with a tragic mask, the club of
Hercules or a sword, and wearing the cothurnus,
which are the boots traditionally worn by tragic actors.

Sometimes she holds a knife or club in one hand,
a mask in the other, and her head is surrounded
with vine leaves.Her name loosely translates to "choir"
and she is named because of her chanting which charms
and inspires her listeners.

 


In spite of her joyous singing, Melpomene is the
muse of tragedy. She loves music, and enjoys
meeting and interacting with others. She is organizationally motivated and hopes to use
this skill to produce plays in Kymer with the help
of its citizens. She is very inquisitive in nature.
Therefore she eagerly anticipates learning
more about Kymer.
She is happiest when she is expressing herself
creatively as opposed to conforming to a strict routine.
At times, she can be very philosophical and helpful to those who seek her guidance or counsel.
Melpomene dreams of the theatre in Kymer alive
and full of people sharing their artistic ideas,
thoughts, poems and stories.
It is her wish that all take full advantage of
the wisdom of all the Muses and enrich their time in Kymer by learning more about all of the arts.
