<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 5221062, member: 91461&quot;]Just another classic tale of boy meets statue, falls in love with statue and tries to sleep with statue. Truly a timeless tale. And it also goes to show why Greek sculptures are known as the finest from antiquity; they truly loved their art<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>With so many great Greek stories and you can pick just about anything from their mythology for a laugh (or a cry), I think I will mention a couple classic Greek one liners from the battle of &quot;The Hot Gates&quot;...Thermopylae!</p><p>When King Leonidas I of Sparta was told by a Persian messenger that Xerxes I would spare his men&#039;s lives if they gave up their weapons that moment. Old Leonidas proudly replied, Tell Xerxes to &quot;come and take them&quot;&quot;</p><p>Another classic Dad joke passed down the ages from this battle is when a Greek soldier complained that, &quot;Because of the arrows of the barbarians it is impossible to see the sun&quot;, Dienekes, one of the strongest of the Spartan warriors, replied, &quot;Won&#039;t it be nice, then, if we shall have shade in which to fight them?</p><p><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTbkGZROH3Ob4Ax4vmynEhnxVxdII8dB1VP6VG_smg-0roUEpdn:https://www.thecinemaholic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/59e70369a7faf7fbda0411c4c6d09e68-1024x534.jpg&amp;usqp=CAU" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/eUMf85AeNwW-7029NpGZd_9yIIGMBj0uu5SH1Fs7IVd1aWyuXBZ6yMJ7homUc-AoWGmvuKZp_aw35_W1TX1M0ZclWqO0LJ2jLtkBd86DeWMo1gtWE0RxH6qaVpksDJq_mKfk9hM" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Any more funny stories from the past please post em up for a chance to win a CT pal a SaWeet Barbarian coin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
