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!

    Here in Finland 'perse' means 'a*s' so naming a child Persephone would just lead to plenty of a*s jokes like: 'Persephone - Do you have a phone up your a*s?'

    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.

    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!".
