Roman/Greek Culture in Mordern Culture

Roman culture has been present in modern culture ever since its fall in the 400's.  Its been in architecture and law but it finally made its way into memes. The first meme is a very popular format where you'd have the guy sitting and then put something on the sign and then under that it says to change my mind.  The latin on the sign translates to Romulus did nothing wrong, and then under that, it says to change my mind.  When it says Romulus did nothing wrong, it's referring to when Romulus killed Remus and named Rome after himself.  In the second one, we have a reference to Greek mythology.  In this format, people will change the name and occupation of the beetle to whatever they want.  In this one, they change it to ask if Achilles was the best fighter in literature.  John replies with he isn't even the best fighter in the Illiad.  This is referring to the book Illiad about the Trojan War and how Achilles wasn't the best warrior in that book which he was predominantly featured in.
