mythology

As a kid I was obsessed with Greek mythology. The freaky fantastical nature of the tales with their heavy dose of violence and edge made regular old fairy tales seem pathetic in comparison. I wanted monsters.. I wanted death. I wanted weird magic and freaky sex. While I no longer devote as much time to flipping through mythology books, there are a ton of Mythology memes to be found on Reddit. 

We always love us some ancient history memes, and Greek mythology takes the cake for some of our favorite content. So please enjoy these memes and Tumblr tidbits fit for the Gods.

The seemingly immortal Blinking White Guy reaction memes are pretty damn timeless, but they've seen a huge resurgence this week, particularly on Instagram and in the r/dankmemes subreddit. This time around, the memes are being used to describe the first guy to ever do XYZ. The actions range from something as simple as sleeping to extremely specific meme references. While kind of basic and low-effort, the meme has become extremely popular, and is being twisted and turned into quite the formidable format. As with any meme trend, many people on Reddit are lamenting its popularity, but we definitely welcome most memes that require little to no brain power to understand. 

Dare we say that Spice Adams is the new Savage Patrick? The football player's been popping up in the meme world over the last few months, and we are not complaining. The image that's being used, of Adams rubbing his hands together while wearing a bright yellow suit, is from a 2017 photoshoot that he basically meme'd in a hilarious saga called "The Love Story Of Leon Lemons." Though the saga is a bit dated, the image, and these memes, have not even come close to getting old. 

If there's one thing we don't miss about school it's tirelessly poring over exceedingly dry texts, highlighting banal facts that we'll never remember in the coming years. These memes are basically the antithesis of this agony, providing us with historical truths and a dash of humor.

Only Zeus could bag babes while in the form of a swan. Greek mythology is freaky as hell. 

The "Distracted Boyfriend" meme is perhaps the stock photo meme to end all stock photo memes. People got so into it that the backstory was discovered by some internet sleuths. The meme went viral in late August - and was used to describe situations ranging from dating and politics to super specific themes like Greek mythology. This meme's versatility is the root of its strength, so we doubt we've seen the end of Distracted Boyfriend.
