Shipped with USPS First Class Package. Momus(/moms/;Greek:Momos) was in Greek mythology the personification ofsatire and ... mockery. Later throughout Europe, Momus was the patron of humorous satire, partnering the figures of comedy and tragedy. As such he appeared flanked by these female figures on the frontispiece to The Beauties of the English Stage (1737), [20] while in Leonard Defraines Figures of Fabled Gods (1820), he partners Comus, god of Carnival, and Themis, patroness of assemblies.[21]Because of the Harlequin connection, too, and as the character able to make home-truths palatable through the use of humour, Momus had now taken the place of the Fool on the French Minchiate card pack. He also lent his name to George Saville Careys satirical poem, Momus, or a critical examination into the merits of the performers and comic pieces at the Theatre-Royal in the Hay-Market (1767).[22]The god himself plays no part there, only Momus sons, the comic actors.
