For people like me, who didn't get it: Euripides: a greek philosopher who'se name sounds like the phrase " Did you rip these?" Eumenides: a tragedy by Aeschylus that sounds like the phrase " Will you mend these"
I love it.
- It helps if you give them a really cartoonish Italian accent. 🤌
  
  yeah, i just read them as "eury-pi-des" and "eury-many-dees" which really didn't work at all
- Thanks, would've taken me a long time to figure it out without this.
- Sorry, didn't work for me.
  
  Did you try paying it better?
Wearing pants?!?
on closer inspection i believe this story to be fake because the ancient greeks did not wear pants.
- It's also from the show Frasier
  
  damn they had that in athens?
- Why are you inspecting pantless Greeks?
- Call it a torn tunic, then.
An ancient greek walks into a strip club
"Epictetus"
I'm too Greek to understand this joke
Ancient Greeks: This is a joke?
