*The sock and buskin are two ancient symbols of comedy and tragedy. In ancient Greek theatre, actors in tragic roles wore a boot called a buskin. The actors with comedic roles wore only a thin-soled shoe called a sock. Melpomene, the muse of tragedy, is often depicted holding the tragic mask and wearing buskinsAcquisition
