Hellenistic Memes for Ancient History Geeks

The socratic philosophers of ancient Greece weren't so different from us. If Diogenes were alive today, he'd probably be subtweeting Plato about his subpar interpretation of Socrates, and virtue signaling about his choice to live in poverty with stray dogs. Kanye and Kim's toxic relationship is just a contemporary version of Zeus and Hera. It's no wonder memes about classics and ancient history are popular—humans haven't really change that much. If you have a taste for history and humor, we've collected a bunch of dank hellenistic memes sprinkled with a bit of historical context.

  • Building - “What's up, Sisyphus?" JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER HEB 13.8

    Everyone feels bad for poor old Sisyphus. But Sisyphus is only relatable until you find out what he did to deserve an eternity of performing a futile task. That dude is the definition of "f*** around and find out." Just ask Zeus.
