Greek mythology has been bringing a whole new meaning to 'love thy mother' since 3000 BCE. Humanity has thrived on every new method of storytelling for centuries, preparing each new generation to tackle life's trials and tribulations by learning timeless wisdom through the folly of others. Unfortunately, since history repeats itself, we should be paying a lot more attention to the likes of Greek mythology and therefore, I present to you, 2024's latest storytelling format that can please any expert in the lore: Tweets.

Jokes aside, the goofy nature of Twitter has fed our entertainment appetite more effectively than Persephone's fruits in the underworld. So as we gaze into the eternal stare of our own modern Medusa, better to get a quick chuckle in before we totally turn to stone. Scroll onward to enjoy an epoch of tweets and quips that turn the Trojan horse into the greatest surprise birthday party once again and remind us that we can still be the wisest mortals of olde.
