Question:

Where did the dual Drama Masks originate?

I've noticed the "happy face, sad face" or Comedy-Trajedy masks a lot, and they seem to be the very icon of drama. But where did they originate? And is there an official name for them?

i.e. http://www.camas.wednet.edu/chs/curric/d...

NOTE: I know the masks in general originated in Greece. I am referring to the specific logo featuring one happy face beside one sad face.
