Welcome to this dump of history and mythological memes. Sometimes I make the memes themed, sometimes I don't. If you enjoy laughing without talking politics and escaping reality, you’ll love following this page!

#22 baby those aren't double hips. I've got double hips, they don't look good like that.
ElbowDeepInLeBronsPuzzy
you my good sir have finally found my favourite sense of humor, greek mythological humor

#1 Because they weren't clapping: that's muscle, so likely rubbing. Auto-clapping cheeks are indicative of a flabby, out of shape ass.

Greece hell... a three headed dog but only to hands to give him head pats :(

#1 easy…

Hercules: "You are the worst father ever!"
Zeus: -_-

Fun fact: "Perse" means ass in Finnish. That's why the Finns giggle when hearing names like Perseus or Persephone.

#8 Even 2000 years ago, you couldn't get all the members of a group project to actually do anything.

#11 we must imagine Sisyphus happy

#28 until you run into poison ivy or oak. Then you have a whole new problem. And in places you really really really don't want it.

One word: chiggers.
I haven't worn shorts in the woods in 25yrs, because the last time I did, I ended up with chiggers from my ankles all the way up to, and including, my scrotum.

If you think those are bad, look up the Gympie bush. That thing is a plant of nightmares. So naturally it's from Australia.

#36 Point of Order: Nyx is NOT a god in the sense of the Olympians. She's a Primordial, one of the divine beings that sprang from Chaos, also called Protogenoi. She's older than the Titans.
ElbowDeepInAPoliceState
My understanding is that she's from what is functionally a different religion, that the better known greek mythology is descended from (in the same way Christianity is descended from judaism)
DukeDarkwood
Cronos was older and stronger than Zeus, and that didn't stop him from waging a war against the Titans.
Nyx.... Nyx is older than Zeus. Older than Cronos. Older even than Ouranos. I would *almost* go so far as to say that Nyx is older than dirt, but no - Gaea is older, being either the first offspring of Chaos, or was truly autogenic, forming just after Chaos.
Still. Nyx is *almost* as old as dirt.

Also, definitely not the only being that Zeus feared

#10 Meeting Odin sounds like a bad trip. Meeting Frey or Thor would be more fun.

What I want to know is when did they invent cheese and what the hell did they do on Saturday night before that?

And fun facts only 6 of those stab wounds were made while he was still alive the rest were just politicians stabbing a dead body to act like they did something, thus proving that politicians are the same in any age

#41 Never doubt Tehuti aka Thoth
DukeDarkwood
Also transcribable as Jehuty. Remember Thoth? Here's him now:
InitHello
Or, in Greek letters, Θωθ

#39 realizing? How old were you when you read it? The subtext of her being a victim is pretty clear. Her home was invaded, she was attacked and murdered in cold blood. Pretty obvious to anyone with a shred of media literacy.
GigglySprinkleCupcake
I mean, I war a kid when I first read about her so I didn't understand the subtext
JustSomePersonThere
Fair enough. I had the good luck of having that story told to me by someone who understood it, and painted Medusa as a victim. So I can’t take credit for understanding something that was explained to me so clearly.

#1 perse means ass in Finnish. Coincidence? Probably.

Beautiful 10/10, would dump again

#3 Awww Who’s A Good Puppy
DukeDarkwood
Not the Chimera, certainly. Heads of a lion, a goat, and a snake, none of which are remotely canine. That had no connection with the Underworld. That traveler got lost and ended up in Lycia (a kingdom in Asia Minor, a.k.a. Turkey).
Being a cat person, I might try to pet the leonine head. It wouldn't be a good idea, but there it is.
sybertear
Listen, dogs aren’t the only thing that has puppies lol

#17 Because Aesops fables are meant for children, the illiad not so much.
Drachiel
Also maybe because she got the "nobody will believe you" curse by Apollo after refusing to let him f__k her, while the kid just reaped what he sowed
ElbowDeepInAPoliceState
Oh yeah, I forgot about it being a curse
SaganIsMyLordAndSavior
#4 in a fuckin idiot. I was like ok, sure, I'm dkssasociating anyway. Then the joke hit me like 4 memes later. I love people who think like this, you are fuckin awesome whoever you are!
ElbowDeepInLeBronsPuzzy
explanation?
ElbowDeepInLeBronsPuzzy
i love you all who told me the lore behind this absolute gem
ApathicAndProud
He died from flying to close to the sun and melted his wax wings… Red Bull would fix that
MrBismarck
Red Bull gives Icarus wings.
legenunfiltered
Icarus died trying to fly to the sun with wings he made. Redbull gives you wings.
SaganIsMyLordAndSavior
It gives you wings ;) Icarus was the son of the master inventor Daedalus in greek mythology, who crafted wings of feathers and wax for them to escape imprisonment on the island of Crete. But as icarus didn't listen and flew to close too the sun, even though he was warned about that, and fell out of the sky. (I know you probably know the story. But not everyone does so... just in case ☺️)
DonaldTwain
tbh my brain first went to the minotaur and I was thinking “idiots that was daedalus not icarus” followed by “ohhh, wings, right.”
DukeDarkwood
He was also warned not to fly too low, or the sea spray would dampen the feathers, weighting them down.
But if he went out that way, his death couldn't be used as a metaphor for overweening ambition.
SaganIsMyLordAndSavior
Oh nice! I didnt remember that detail! Lol. You said ween.
SaganIsMyLordAndSavior
#22 I mean.. just look at her face.
cousteau
Despite what they said, she got a fine ass too. But nothing compared to Perseus, daaamn!

Bit of a stony expression there

You've heard of ionic marble, now get ready for iconic marble

SaganIsMyLordAndSavior
she's at 93%, loading a Kubrick stare 😅
unannouncedguest
Tbh it's more of a sad look, she looks sad, crestfallen, not tired of your bullshit.
SaganIsMyLordAndSavior
Not a trap, I'm just curious if you're a guy, or a girl. Just wondering what perspective you're coming from
unannouncedguest
It does feel like a trap. I'm really inclined to answer "I go by she/him" or "I'm non binary" ... Especially to see whether I'd get into a "but you can only be assigned one at birth argument" with someone sporting a rainbow heart as avatar :-p but as a guy totally familiar with the "I'm tired of your shit" look from my s.o. I'm going to just come out... I am a man, a father, a dude, a husband, boring old cis gendered male... But... I am also a cat knocking shit off the table
SaganIsMyLordAndSavior
Forgive me, I'm old as dirt and still trying so hard to learn to do better. I do forget that sometimes. I'm very sorry ❤️ Its nice to meet you 😊 in just love people, and seeing things from their eyes, and dont always ask the right questions, but always feel appropriately derp when I forget and ask dumb ones 😅
iamnoobplzhelp
It's fun to see what people see. I think she looks victorious or confident. But not gloating. I don't see the sadness.
arumunus
On a technical level- I LOVE that the iris is only carved out at the top of the eye, and not at the bottom, while there's a ring between the iris and pupil that's defined.
Straight up sculpting light into the eye. It's so fucking cool.
SaganIsMyLordAndSavior
That's amazing. I didn't catch that. Such amazing talents these artists have. Have you ever seen the marble statue of a woman who has a sheer muslin sheet over her head, and wrapped over her shoulders? Its so exquisitely detailed, the illusion is perfect. Its like you can pull it off the statues head. Mind blowing.
