Who Said Greek Mythology Couldn't Make For Funny Jokes?

Much of what we take for granted in Western society today comes from Ancient Greece. Democracy? The Greeks. Philosophy? The Greeks. Vending machines? Amazingly, the Greeks.

They prove to us that Greek mythology can make some pretty hilarious (and bad in a good way) jokes.
