In Greek mythology, Thalia (Θάλεια , "good cheer") was the muse of comedy and pastoral poetry. She was a rural goddess with the attributes of a comic mask and a shepherd's crook. Her names came from θάλλεω, meaning "to bloom". By the god Apollo came the Corybantes, priests who castrated themselves in accordance to the goddess Cybele.
