If that's your attitude, angry lil anon, I suggest you forget Greek philosophy. Start instead with Greek literature, and come back to us when you've read some of that

Start with "Zorba the Greek" and work backwards.

The Greeks are not a meme.

I'm reading Ovid's Metamorphoses now, it's very enjoyable. The Greeks are a quality meme.

If the Greeks were so smart how did they still believed in oracles and gods? Checkmate Philosofags.

Greeks were brilliant thinkers! They are the base of Western civilization. A lot of Mathematical axioms were found through their schools, Pythagoras being the most popular. Then you have Aristotle and them boys. It's easy to observe its influence in modern works. Hercules and the Gods of Olympia.

I honestly think the reason why this is so heavily advertised on here is because this is a predominantly American board and I assume a basic exposure to Greek culture and myths isn't part of the American general education. So it's something you need to catch up on yourself to get all those references in literature made by people who didn't put any effort into studying the Greeks because it was part of their general education. See also myths of the bible.
