Thaleia was the Greek Muse of Comedy

Thaleia was the Greek Muse of comedy and pastoral poetry. She had eyes that flowed love and is often depicted holding a comic mask. The main attribute of Thalia was a shepherd's crook.

According to some mythologists claim that Thaleia was also the Muse of vegetation, interpreting from the origin of her name "thalo", i.e. "bloom".
