Gods and Giggles: 31 Epic Greek Mythology Memes That Are Funnier Than Zeus's Never-Ending Need For Paternity Tests

When we were younger, we were obsessed with Greek Mythology. Hercules was our favorite movie, and we actually enjoyed reading 'The Odyssey' in high school. If you're a fan of Greek mythology (which, we guess you are because you are reading this right now), you know that the Greeks know how to tell a good story. From Hades and Persephone to Jason and the Argonauts, these myths filled our minds with wondrous images, colorful tales of epic heroes, and scary monsters that hid around every corner.

But, like every good story, there's always someone who's ready to make fun of it. These hilarious Greek mythology memes are for the true nerds, most of them will only make sense if you really remember the original myths. That's the fun though! We never see memes catered to us nerds, and finally, someone has given us something to laugh at. Better strike while the iron's hot, Hephaestus, and get going on those giggles!

Zeus, buddy, we know that you're an all-powerful god of thunder, but maybe you should take a few lessons from the god of restraint. Just think of how much easier your life would be if you didn't have so many children. Just food for thought.

Hades gets a bad rap, but he's actually super chill. He rules the underworld, making a barren place his home, and lives quietly with his dog. He's too unbothered to get involved in all the rest of the family drama, and that's what we like about him.
