PUNitive Jokes

Enjoy/cringe at these jokes about what we have learned recently/are about to learn.  (None of these are actually mine.)
1) What did the Parthenon play in Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief? A supporting role.
2) A classics professor goes to a tailor to get his trousers mended. The tailor asks: “Euripides?” The professor replies: “Yes. Eumenides?”
3) CORN-thian column:

4) How was the Roman Empire divided?  With a pair of Caesars.
5) A senator was fifteen minutes late to the Senate on a day Cicero was giving a speech.  He sat in his usual seat and quietly asked the senator next to him what Cicero was talking about.  The senator replied, “I don’t know.  He hasn’t gotten to the verb yet.” - In Latin, verbs are often placed at the end of sentences, and apparently Cicero used really long sentence.
6) When did Caesar reign?
I didn’t know he reigned.
Of course he did, didn’t they hail him?
7) I won't apollogize for these Greek mythology puns.
