They say that those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Unfortunately there's quite a lot of history to learn, and nobody has time for that. But we think that as long as you get the gist of it everything should work out fine, and nothing conveys quick info like a nice meme. Therefore, we hope you enjoy these 26 historical funnies, and learn enough history to avoid past mistakes. 

In my humble opinion, the Greek and Roman mythological versions of Gods seem about right. Enough variety to cover all the bases, stories to explain everything, and chaotic personalities to account for all that's obviously wrong with the world. What are Gods if not just beings on a higher plane, with flaws just like the rest of us? If you're a fan of the Percy Jackson series, then you'll know that these Gods have a hard time keeping things in their pants, as one meme in this gallery points out. Just about every story can be explained by a deity obsessing over a lover. Save some for us mortals now will you?

If you appreciate history, jokes and Greek mythological infidelity, then I'm sure you'll like these 26 historical memes.
