It appears that philosophy is deeply ingrained in the genes of Greeks. Evidence of this can be found in the comic strips of the popular Greek humorist Arkas



Compare the above image with the saying from Sophocles below:

Μὴ φῦναι τὸν ἅπαντα νικᾷ λόγον (Μη φύναι τον άπαντα νικά λόγον / το να μην έχει γεννηθεί κανείς δηλαδή είναι καλύτερο από όλα)
Not to be born is, past all prizing, best.

Oedipus Coloneus l. 1224 (translation by R. W. Jebb)

The stars, escaping,
Evaporate in acrid mists
[...]Night blows through me.
I am clear with its bitterness.
I tinkle along brick canyons
Like a crystal leaf
