Thalia and Melpomene were the truest sisters, and adored eachother. They were the closest sisters of all Nine Muses. Cherishing every waking moment together, they flourished when creating art. Yet, Thalia and Melpomene were often found thriving in their own space. Melpomene tended this close to her heart. Thalia was adored by the Gods for her love and honoring of comedy. Always with a kind word and soft joke. Melpomene, on the other hand, was quiet at reserved. She adored the outgoingness of her sister and wished to be more like her.
While, Thalia adored the love and adoration she received, sometimes she wished for quiet peace of mind. She often envied how her sister, Melpomene, cherished her art solely for her own personal love of it. The two never aloud spoke these truth to each other and as time past grew envious of each other.
Melpomene and Thalia began to stop creating art together. Melpomene quiet jealousy turned to passionate envy. Thalia grew bitter and angry. The two fought and the fighting brought a darkness over benign muses. A period of time passed where no art was being created, and the Gods grew restless. Their father, Zeus, decided to put the two in a space together. He did not allow them to leave until they decided to cease their fighting. Many days past and not word of the two sisters were heard. The two sisters decided to create a space that allowed them both to shine. Allowing for a space in which tragedy and comedy could bring people together. A place in which people could feel, laugh, and cry. Thalia and Melpomene created the first stage that would eventually become Broadway. Allowing the outgoing and the quiet to find a place underneath the spotlight. In honor of his daughters reconciliation, Zeus took both of their portraits and created the first symbol of theater, the face of tragedy and the face of comedy intertwined.
