The 'Who Are You I Am From Ancient Greece' meme originated from a webcomic where a modern person encounters a stoic, muscular figure from antiquity. The humor typically stems from the juxtaposition of modern-day trivialities or sensitivities against the perceived hyper-masculinity, wisdom, or simplicity of ancient Greek culture. Since its emergence, it has become a staple for history buffs and social commentators to highlight how modern society has changed. It is frequently used to make absurd jokes where an ancient Greek philosopher or soldier provides a blunt, archaic solution to a complex contemporary problem.
