A greentext-style meme lists increasingly exaggerated lifestyle changes inspired by ancient Greek culture, including eating Mediterranean food, lifting weights, growing a beard, drinking cheap red wine, and calling oneself “zorba.” The punchline is that the narrator claims these habits dramatically improve strength and romantic interest, absurdly presenting a romanticized ancient Mediterranean lifestyle as the key to happiness.
