Meaning

Thaleia is named among the Muses at LXXVI.8, between Euterpe and Melpomene. The local list identifies her company; it does not allocate a particular genre or comic mask to her. Keep this record distinct from the similarly named Grace Thalia and from the common noun for festive flourishing.
