Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts









It was Ulysses/Odysseus,
the cleverest of all Greeks,
who devised the
Trojan Horse strategy,
so here's a couple of
LOLs in his honour --



And who says the old myths
about Troy aren't relevant anymore?

  1. The pizza and the cat ones were my top picks. That's good stuff. Happy Tuesday!

  2. The Trojans were divided - should they set fire to the statue or should they honour and worship it? Some wise old men realised there was something not quite right and advised setting fire to it. Others warned that if they did so the gods would be angry as the horse is dedicated to Athena, the great goddess of wisdom, and they did not wish to feel her wrath.
    So yes, definitely always beware Greeks bearing gifts.
    I have walked the excavated ancient walls and streets that were Troy and even climbed up inside the replica wooden horse.

  3. @ Rosemary -- What an exciting trip that would be! The closest I've come to the Trojan Horse is a rather chunky statue of it in a local Turkish restaurant, LOL.

  10. Great lolz! Loved the pizza delivery, the cat, Pandora's labyrinth. 'I came as quickly as I could after I did some other stuff.' Always found Odysseus annoying on that score. Lol.

  11. What is a dead name??

  12. @ This N That -- When a trans person switches from one sex to the other, they adopt a new given name to match the current, correct sex to which they've transitioned. Their "deadname" is whatever their name was for their original, incorrect sex and of course no one should call them that anymore. So in this meme, Troy became Helen or (to stretch a point) "Helen of Troy."

  13. The pizza move is brilliant.
    This was altogether hilarious, Deb.
