Ancient Greek Comedy and Tragedy Masks Magnet

These two masks have come to symbolize the theater and its two major dramatic categories, comedy and tragedy. They are the perfect gift for people with a passion for the performance arts like actors, singers, writers, and other artists. The masks are also a great conversation piece because of their unique look and history.

Masks have played an important part in the history of drama since the time of the ancient Greeks. They were originally used to allow the actors to clearly convey emotions such as anger, joy, or sorrow to the entire audience, and they made it easier for men to portray female characters.
