None of the mythologies known to us is as elaborate and weird as the Greek mythology. Many schools teach Greek mythology because it provides the foundation for much of western culture, introducing concepts of good vs. evil, identifying human virtues and vices and providing the framework for much of the literature that we grew up with. Deeply embedded in our lives, the furious and unforgiving Greek gods seem to be an excellent source for clever jokes.
As well as all this, they are just some damn good stories with badass characters. Are you familiar with the Greek mythology gods? Whether you have read the Greek myths or not, you are sure to understand a few of these killer funny jokes! From Medusa to Midas, Apollo, Zeus, and Achilles heel (or was it the elbow?), all the gang is represented. Can you get them all? Scroll down below to check it out for yourself!

Medusa is bad at making good first impressions - most people who meet her are petrified.

I don't know why, but now I honestly can't think of Medusa, without thinking that she used the people she turned into stone as furniture.

I hate you all. However, those puns are rock solid. Nobody can destroy them.

Stop referring to that man in every-f*****g-thing you see online, he's not that important and this is turning him into a cult-figure (general request, you're not alone in doing that)

I always thought Iphigenia would make a wonderful name for a girl. Nickname of "iffy" in there too, though I'm not so sure about that.

I don't mean to be a know-it-all, but Zeus did not make the animals. It was Epimetheus and Prometheus, two of the sons of Iapetus.

Yes, but don't you think Zeus and the other elder gods gave them unsolicited advice?

Classical (!) smartass smattering. Troy was in war with the Greek. They (the greek) had the wooden horse made and "given" to Troy.
ADHORTATOR 7 years ago
Well...if you are at war with Troy, you are greek and so it was you who built the wooden horse...?
Mimis Nachbarin 7 years ago
YES. If you were at war with Troy, you did not "receive" the wooden horse but you were inside the wooden horse (as a greek soldier)...

It should more properly be called the Greek Horse, since it was the Greeks who built it and hid in it to get inside the enemy s city of Troy. (it's kinda backward above)

Yeah, we had one of those chaotic evil arseholes in our campaign once. Bugger kept killing and stealing from the rest of us. One day he got a stack of wishes and wished that our paladins +3 vorple sword was in his Chest of Holding. The DM said 'what was your wish" and the arsehole said "I wish that the sword was in my chest." We all laughted long and hard at the result...

Did you know that Bia was the only one strong enough to restrain Prometheus, and thus is the one who chained him, but it's underrated because Bia is mostly silent when she's part of things.

Actually, she once attempted to overthrow Zeus. That failed, and as a punishment, Zeus tied her to thr clouds with colden chains and tied anvils to her feet. He left her hanging until she swore she would never oppose Zeus again.

I guess it was a complicated marriage with a, well, complicated sexual life - seeing the fact Zeus and Hera were not only a married couple but also siblings...

Zeus was a douche...so many catastrophes could have been avoided if only he had behaved a bit
Zenozenobee 7 years ago
Yeah but you have to admit that he also found the perfect douche wife to get along. You're man can't stop dicking around: punish the mortal even if she doesn't know what's going out. A fine couple to invite to brunch.

Do you ever wish Hera was more open-minded? Like if she had a dose of the kink, the two of them would have much more fun.

Well their bad sides are not "regular bad sides". Athena: " a young mortal is raped by my temple by Poseidon? Oh My Father, this is awful, such a shame! Let's punish her by transforming into a monster that can change men into stone!" Hera: "My husband had a kid wiht a mortal by make him her believe she was with her husband? Let's try to kill the kid by sending him a snake! Doesn't work? lte's drive him crazy so that he kill his wife and kids!".
EvilDinosaur 7 years ago
Let’s face it, the Athena one was unfair. She did the best she could to save medusa and give her the power to sleight those who wronged her. She couldn’t do much anyway and the originals show it as much less of a punishment and more of an act of kindness.

Honestly I think Hades was the best God cause he literally sat in the Underworld and stayed out of everything. Except for Persephone., but she became a queen so yea.

to my opinion the motherfxcking isn´t the point. the point is that you can´t cheat fate like his father tried by ordering the death of his son. maybe the message is to take a risk and challenge fate by doing the right thing and raising your child instead of sacrifice the child for your own good.
