Melpomene

Melpomene is one of the nine classical Greek muses, specifically the muse of tragedy and dramatic acting. Her name means “she who sings” and she is often depicted with a tragic mask or a theatrical staff. As a muse, she inspires playwrights, actors, and artists to create powerful tragic works that explore deep human emotions and struggles. In Greek mythology, the muses embody different artistic and intellectual pursuits, and Melpomene's role is to evoke and celebrate the art of tragic storytelling that evokes empathy and reflection.
