This is a 4-panel webcomic meme featuring a cartoon depiction of the Greek mythological figure Orion, for whom the famous Orion constellation is named. In the first panel, an off-screen voice tells Orion sitting on a couch that he has received a package. In the second panel, Orion excitedly opens the package and exclaims that it is his new belt. In the third panel, he wears the belt with a disappointed expression, stating it is not as good as he expected. In the fourth panel, he uses his phone to leave a 3-star review for the product. The core joke is a clever pun referencing the Orion's Belt asterism, a set of three bright stars that are the most recognizable feature of the Orion constellation.

This single-panel cartoon meme depicts two iconic figures from Greek mythology: King Midas, who possesses the power to turn anything he touches into gold, and Medusa, who can turn anyone who gazes at her into stone. Midas is shown standing in an open doorway, holding a golden bouquet, fully turned to stone, as he shakes hands with Medusa, who is fully turned into gold, standing inside the home with her characteristic snake hair and snake lower body. The joke relies on the juxtaposition of their two opposing powers, which activated immediately upon their meeting, instantly ending their potential romantic relationship, as referenced by the 'very brief affair' caption.

This meme is a 2x2 side-by-side comparison grid. The top row is labeled '2004', featuring stills of Diane Kruger as Helen of Troy and Brad Pitt as Achilles from the 2004 blockbuster film *Troy*, the traditionally attractive and widely recognized cast of the earlier adaptation. The bottom row is labeled '2026', showing the reported casting for an upcoming 2026 *Troy* reboot/series: a Black actress cast as Helen, and a less traditionally masculine actor cast as Achilles. The core joke frames this updated, more diverse casting as a 'downgrade' from the 2004 film's cast, commenting on contemporary media casting trends for classic story adaptations.
